I can't believe what I'm reading!!!
I had the priviledge of performing for Mr. Girko while at North Texas,
and he is a wonderful man....talks real fast(reminds me of the character
in that wonderful movie last year about the piano player...the name
escapes me)...he gave me alot of very good insight, and I thought he was
a great player. The man had what seemed like the worlds largest barrel
collection, i borrowed one when I was broke, and it turned out to be
awful, but he was very gracious. I am very sad to hear about his being
terminated, I hope it does not carry through.
