I have had the very great pleasure of enjoying four of Justin's performances on cruise ships over the past couple years. His music is extraordinary and most entertaining. However, his stories about the artists that he pays tribute to and the music that they created is amazingly informative and provides insights that make the music even more special and enjoyable. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the stories captured on this website and definitely hope for more in the future. I am indebted to Justin for sharing his passion and his research with the audiences of which I have been a part.

Justin: I had the extreme pleasure of seeing you in two shows on the Westerdam this past week. I had not seen your shows before and I was so thrilled. I don't know which I enjoyed more, your playing or your stores. Maybe just BOTH!!!

I hope to see more of you in the future. What a wonderful talent you are. You were the highlight of our Christmas cruise!

A new fan.

Justin: My sister and I had the extraordinary pleasure aboard EURODAM this past summer to attend your two concerts. It was such a thrilling display of musicianship to which you introduced us both.

The range of selections and your exquisite dexterity was amazing.

Your show on the 'Nieuw Amsterdam' at the end of August was an oasis in a cultural desert. The threaded yarns appealled to me enough to search for more on the web. Thanks for making it all available.

Justin, we were sure on the right cruise at the right time. You performed extra since the itinerary was changed due to weather. Very kind of you. We still talk about you and wondered if you'll be on Holland America in the near future. At least we have your cd's to enjoy!
After cruising 12 times you are still the best entertainment ever experienced and a first class act!
Thankyou for the stories, melodies,and memories!

Great Grannie & Pappy

What a privilage to see and hear such a wonderful - talented person. If we know where and when you will be on a cruise ship - we will be there just to hear you. Positivly amazing. We love your music and stories.

We have seen your show on a few of the Holland American Cruises and want to say we can't wait to see you again. We wondered whre you will be for 2011 and 2012. Our very best to you.

My wife and I had the pleasure of attending your shows on a cruise we took a couple of years ago. We didn't miss a performance and bought all of your CD's. They are still played when I am in the mood for "good" music.

Bravo Maestro. The world is a better place because you are here.

Rob McNabb

To borrow the phrase "...and now you know the rest of the story" is most appropriate with your many stories and anecdotes.

Richard Simpson

February 18, 2011

I greatly enjoyed your two performances on the Zandam, (Feb 6 to 16th, MX). Your are a skilled musician and interesting performer. Loved you music and enjoyed your stories. I would rate you as one of the best performers I've heard on a HAL cruise.

May you have many more outstanding performances.

Ronnie Major

We enjoyed you so much on Holland America last week. I've been listening to your CD'S. They are wonderful.

It was a pleasant surprise to see your performance onboard the MS Nieuw Amsterdam during its inaugural sailing. Having seen your performance on the Eurodam 1-1/2 years ago, I was hoping that you would be one of the guest performers. I believe that everyone who had seen your performances from other sailings was very pleased to see your performance, albeit the only appearance during this sailing. It was another outstanding performance!

Ralph & Connie King

July 2, 2010

We were on the ms Massdam for the Canada-New England trip June 12, 2010. We thoroughly enjoyed your performances on board. We look forward to cruising with you again! Thank you for adding to our fond memories of this trip!!!

Susan Miller

LOVE YOU! You are a GREAT preformer.I was Just recently on the Holland America Line (ms Maasdam). I went to EVERY show and I think you were probably the best! I love your stories and your preformances! You Rock!

Justin,
We just got back from our cruise on the Holland America Maasdam. We thought you were outstanding. Let us know if you are ever in Las Vegas.

A. Magpile

February 11, 2010

I was fortunate to see your performance onboard the Eurodam in Feb/09. I would like to know if you will be a guest performer on any of HAL's European sailings anytime from May-Nov/10. I think you're an outstading guitarist.

Ian Priestley (Bedford England)

February 11, 2010

Saw your show at New Year on the Noordam. Love the twists and turns to your stories as much as your music. Your latest story about B17s and beetles is intriguing. Keep them coming!

FRANK AND ELAINE BARCELONA

January 21, 2010

We enjoyed your performances as well as our conversations. Thanks again!

Chuck and Anna Morrison

Saw Dr. Miller on the Noordam...FANTASTIC! Could've listened for hours!

Willa Jo Mauger

Amazing talk and performance on the MS Noordam, January 3, 2010. We were spellbound! Bravo!!

Jeff Corkran

December 28, 2009

I saw your performance on the ms Maasdam yesterday and enjoyed it immensely. As a wannabe guitarist from Kentucky, I have seen numerous very good finger-style players. You rank right up there with the best of them. Thanks for a wonderful evening's entertainment.

Richard Bressler

December 27, 2009

Enjoyed Dr. Miller's performances and talks on the Veendam, South American cruise. Probably the best show I've seen on 10 cruises.

Gary Peterson & Carol Gittins

December 8, 2009

We were with you on the Eurodam in February.
In my view, the best entertainment I've ever seen on a cruise.

Mark H Reed

November 25, 2009

Justin's two performances during our recent HAL cruise aboard the ms Rotterdam were genuine highlights of the entire 18-day cruise. His virtuosity is without question, his storytelling both intriguing and informative for even the casual music fan. Do yourself a favor and either purchase one of his superb CDs or sign onto an HAL cruise and wait for the musicianship to nearly knock you overboard.

Mike Macewich

November 7, 2009

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law just got back from a Med cruise with a copy of your CD. Fabulous. I'm off to iTunes to download

Allen and Debbie Zabner

October 18, 2009

Got home last night from the Med. cruise. Listening to your music right now as I went to your web site. Saw all of your performances onboard the Noordam and we truly loved the nusic and the stories. Can't wait to see you again live in concert somewhere in the world. Thanks for being the BEST show on the trip !!

Sylvia Hassan

October 17, 2009

Terrific Show! Loved all the stories!

Dennis Lauer and Dr. Mary Ann Tesalona Lauer

October 17, 2009

Just returned from cruise to the Med. We saw your shows but can never see enough of your genius. Your talent, your personality and class act just mesmerized us. We have been on some wonderful cruises and have travelled much, seen many wonderful performers, but you are in a class of your own. We go to Las Vegas a few times a year and see some great entertainment but you neeed to be in big room at the Venetian, Paris, Bellagio etc.... Thank you for making our trip a travelling and musical journey.

Gail Basile-Wiffler and Ken Wiffler

July 8, 2009

We have seen Justin Miller on two cruises. I am not usually wild about the entertainment... Every performance he did, we attended. This is one very talented man. He enchanted us with his stories. I hung on every word. The second cruise we saw him come off of the elevator and could not believe our luck at being again on the same ship. If you have not heard him, nor purchased CD's to savor at home, you are missing a big piece of pleasure for your senses.

Dennis and Molly Jones

June 27, 2009

We got to see and listen to Justin's wonderful music on the Eurodam while cruising the Baltic Sea. Absolutly a wonderful performer and entertainer. Enjoyed his music and stories.

Doris Kolackovsky

May 19, 2009

It has been over a year since we went on our Panama Canal Cruise where we saw you, but I still go to your website. You are the most magnificent musician I have heard in years and I used to be a music major. I could listen to you for hours on end.

Roberta and Winfred Cagle

March 29, 2009

We both enjoyed your performances on the Eurodam. I was in awe of the passion of your playing and storytelling....can't wait to read the stories that are online. Thank you.

I love classical music, especially yours now. Your show was very good and very knowledgeable about all of the music I grew up with plus the music that is on your "Rio Tigre" CD I purchased the night of your concert on the Eurodam. Everyone who has heard it lately has loved it too. Thank you for a very wonderful evening of your most beautiful guitar music!

Justin, We had the pleasure of watching your performance on the Eurodam March 7th cruise. We were amazed with the show, the mixture of songs along with the history of them was truly superb! The 45 minute show on Thursday was great. The 3 CDs are truly amazing.
Thanks for making the cruise exceptionally enjoyable.

Cheers

Mr. and Mrs. S.

March 14, 2009

Wow, is all we can say. Your instrumental talents are absolutely fantastic. Your stories were so fascinating and enjoyable. We could have listened to you play your instruments and talk for days! You certainly made our cruise on the Eurodam (2/28/09 - 3/7/09) an absolutely wonderful time. Sure hope we get the opportunity to see you perform again very soon! Thanks for making our second honeymoon so very extra special.

Jennie & Jeff Rauch

March 14, 2009

Wow! What a zest for life! We saw a flamenco guitarist in San Juan after seeing/hearing you - and planned to compare! Well, he has quite the energy, but your energy & presentations are much more refined, less schmaltzy. Very entertaining - all 3 times we made sure to see your performance. Psych's loss, our gain! Wishing you many more years of Eurodam performing and happiness in the real world too!

Sue Russell

March 9, 2009

Just got off the 2/28 Eurodam cruise and you were the highlight of the week. Loved your stories as well as your music!

I had heard from a guest on a previous Eurodam cruise that we should not miss this show on our cruise beginnig 2/7/09. Boy were they right! You are a fascinating performer for so many reasons such as your talent and knowledge. it was so evident that you love what you do, performing for and amazing so many people.

Katy Allen

February 10, 2009

My friend and I were absolutely amazed by your talent and knowledge about the music on the ms Eurodam! You were one of the best performers that I have seen on a cruise and even in general. We would just like to thank you very much for the entertainment and we hope to see you on a cruise again!

Dear Justin,
Saw your show on the Eurodam last week and must tell you how much I enjoyed it. I've never been a fan of guitar or mandolin shows but you've changed my tune...so to speak. We also enjoyed all the stories you told. Great entertainment on both counts.

It was a great pleasure to hear your music on the Eurodam the week of November 15-22. Your passion for your art was a great pleasure to enjoy. I could tell you "felt" the music not just played a guitar. As a musician myself that is very important to me. It really made my trip speaking with you in the 4th floor hall. Thank you for making what was a great trip even beter.

toni trezise

November 23, 2008

Saw all of you performances on the Eurodam during the week of Nov.15-22. Your masterful playing and arrangements accompanied by the historical backgrounds that you narrate make for a unique and educational presentation. Thank you so very much. My husband and I look forward to hearing you again.

Josh Bowman

Thanks for all the wonderful shows and stories! The CD's are great and I listened to them all the way back to NC. I don't think my Ibanez will sound the same playing Chet Adkins but I might try anyway.

Mike

November 22, 2008

I just got home from a HAL Eurodam cruise and the first thing I did was to look up this wonderful musician! I could not get enough of The Man, his music and stories! If you are traveling on the Eurodam - make his shows, each and everyone!!!!!!

Don & Elizabeth jevons

November 20, 2008

Just returned from the November 8-15th Eurodam cruise. Your performances were spectacular and your background stories were entertaining. Of greater interest and fun, was your coffee talk of 45 minutes answering a single question from Shane!!! Well done and look forward to seeing you again.
