Hello,
I did not attend SMU, but would drive down from Norman, Oklahoma once a month to take lessons. The experience was phenomenal, as each lesson entailed roughly 3 or 4 hours playing, a meal or two prepared by Steve, a free concert at the Dallas Symphony, an overnight stay in his guest room, and another lesson in the morning before the drive home. Now I can't remember if I paid $90 or $100 for each "lesson". Steve was the best! I still miss my lessons with him!
Another good Girko story: At one of my lessons, he had the Corigliano Concerto score and parts on his hearth. When I saw them, I asked, "oh, are you going to play that?" He said, "F%&# YOU!".
I saw him last summer and think he's mellowed out a bit, which is a shame, but I think he could have, and still can, I'm sure, play the Corigliano without much practice!
