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.
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!
We enjoyed your performances as well as our conversations. Thanks again!
Saw Dr. Miller on the Noordam...FANTASTIC! Could've listened for hours!
Amazing talk and performance on the MS Noordam, January 3, 2010. We were spellbound! Bravo!!
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.
Enjoyed Dr. Miller's performances and talks on the Veendam, South American cruise. Probably the best show I've seen on 10 cruises.
We were with you on the Eurodam in February.
In my view, the best entertainment I've ever seen on a cruise.
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.
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
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 !!
Terrific Show! Loved all the stories!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
My husband and so enjoyed your performances on the Eurodam. Thank you so much for a very wonderful evening filled with some of the most beautiful music.
Thank you so much for the experience. Please add "What A Wonderful World" to your music site. It is my all time favorite song...that's saying alot from a person lucky enough to have lived in our music era.
Your presence...especially the lecture on the Eurodam was excellent. Thanks so much for making our cruise extra special.
Bonjour!
You were realy the highlight of the cruise on the Eurodam. Even my 13 years old son was impressed (that's a difficult task). Thank you!
Benoit Duval
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!
Thank you for your performances during our Eurodam cruise--hope to see you again sometime.
Meeting you and hearing you play was a highlight of my cruise on the Eurodam in March 2009 - thank you very much. Bob
Your shows on the recent EURODAM cruise were wonderful.
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
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.
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!
Just got off the 2/28 Eurodam cruise and you were the highlight of the week. Loved your stories as well as your music!
Saw your show on the Eurodam; the best I've seen in a long time
YOU PLAY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC I HAVE EVER HEARD AND WILL EVER HEAR,YOU MADE OUR CRUISE SO MEMORABLE WITH YOUR MUSIC.THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT TALENT. BLESSINGS, GLORIA
dr. justin,
my wife and i sailed with you on mar. 14th to 21th. you made our trip with your guitar skills, presence, and story telling.
thank you, bob and jinny o'brien
Justin, you totally blew us away!!! You are the best showman and entertainer I have ever seen- We could of watched you all seven days on the Eurodam!!!!! Your music was played from the heart and your stories made you the most interesting man to listen to!! Keep up your "zest" for life and your wonderful talent! I hope we are blessed to get to see you again!!!
We just got off the Eurodam this week(Feb 14) and really enjoyed the 3 times you performed. We purchased your CD and mentioned we were from Kalamazoo and you discussed guitars mfg. by Gibson.
We just saw you on the 2/7 cruise of the Eurodam. Thank you so much for the wonderful entertainment, you made our cruise!
Just saw Justin on the February 7 cruise of HAL...Absolutely feel in love. Do you do any land concerts? We live in the Washington DC ara.
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.
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!
While on the Eurodam (Jan. 3rd thru the 10th), we were enthralled listening to your wonderful musical performances and fascinating stories. Best and most unusual entertainment we've ever enjoyed on our many past cruises.
Justin: It was a pleasure meeting you and hearing your wonderful playing and stories on the New Year's cruise on the Eurodam--you were truly a highlight of our week! Your three CDs are now in regular rotation on my iPod. The Eurodam is lucky to have you--Shalom--George H.
My wife and I loved your concert on the Eurodam last week. The stories added to the wonderful experience.
Enjoyed your show and stories on the Eurodam during the Christmas and New Years week. I got my guitar out and jammed along with your CD. Thanks for the experience.
You were great on the Eurodam this past week and made the whole experience wonderful. I wish I could be back on the ship right now!
Your performance was the highlight of our cruise. Your stories are fascinating. We just listened to one of your cds and relived our experience on the Eurodam.
I thoroughly enjoyed your 'matinee' and final show on the Eurodam this week. (I unfortunately missed your earlier show.) I look forwrd to more of your music and 'yarns'.
Loved your show on the Eurodam.
I just experienced Justin's performance aboard the Eurodam and in one word...Amazing! I could add another...Outstanding! I was so impressed, I purchased all three of his CD's and when I get back home, my speakers will get a workout!!
Felt indeed fortunate to enjoy your playing Unique guitar (will be checking more) and love Mandoline (Eurodam Dec.6-13),special sharing the stories, and we were so fortunte to have another hour,and again on Friday in Queens Lounge. Yes, this is first couple days on computer, but had to let you know how you touch our hearts!!
Enjoyed you on the Eurodam during the 1st week this December. You are fantastic!
I have been home a total of 45 minutes and have already looked you up to let you know what a pleasure it was to see you in your element on the Eurodam this week.
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.
Patricia Loeper
Enjoyed your show last week on the Eurodam. I have tried to play the mandolin, banjo and guitar, but have a tin ear. So now I just enjoy the music others make.
Spent the week with you Nov 29 Dec 6. What a wonderful experience. I went with my parents (75-85) and our daughter who just graduated (18)Everyone in the party enjoyed your shows so very much. What a pleasure watching someone who enjoys what they do so much. your joy entertaining people is so obvious. Hope to see your show again in the future.
We met you on the Eurodam, trip of Nov 29 and purchased your CDs. Your show is great and we really enjoyed meeting you and listening to your stories.
Just attended your performances on the Eurodam 11/22 to 11/29, 08. Wonderful, enjoyable. You obviously love what you do. I love your stories.
We so enjoyed your performances on the EURODAM last week. The stories were great.
I'm another happy and satisfied Eurodam audience member. I attended all your shows on the Thanksgiving week cruise and enjoyed each one. I particularly appreciated your filling in when the stage props jammed and cancelled the scheduled cast shows. Keep up the good work!
We had the great pleasure of enjoying your two performances & the coffee chat on the Nov 8 - 15th Eurodam cruise. Your musical ability is awesome & we loved your choices of music & instruments. The coffee chat wasn't long enough for us - your stories were enthralling!
An absolutely amazing performer on a beautiful ship, the Eurodam, week of Nov 8 - 15th. Loved the stories too. Enjoyed meeting you and your wife and discussing property and traffic in the Phoenix area. CDs will make great holiday gifts for our family.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!!
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.
Saw all three of your performances on the Nov 1-8 Eurodam cruise. All were entertaining and enlightening. Marvelous!
I just returned from the Eurodam (Nov 8-15) and was delighted with all of your shows. I did go to every one. If you are ever in the Pacific Northwest I'd love to see your shows.
After 140 days on Holland America, Dr. Justin Miller is the finest musician/entertainer we have had the pleasure of enjoying on any cruise!
Was on eurodam Nov. 1 to 8. Your show was just great!
Dr. Miller
Just wanted to thank you for your performances and stories aboard the Eurodam this week. I never recieved much by way of liberal arts background and found your performences and this website a wonderful way to pick up a little musical education.
Best of luck on your future tours.
Sincerely,
Doug Watts
My wife & I first saw you on the Noordam in January '07. It was our great pleasure to find you were on the Eurodam during our Oct 1 2008 Eurodam cruise. As always we enjoyed your music. See if you can't be on the Oosterdam's August 23, 2009 Mediterranean cruise for us!
Also on Eurodam cruise and very much enjoyed your music and stories. Two of my all-time favorites are Pachelbel's Canon and Edelweiss and loved hearing both of them!
Awesome shows! a little history with the music. A very interesting combination. You need to come on down to Houma LA! We have an annual "Voice of The Wetlands" you would fit well with.
ms Eurodam New York to Quebec City - fantastic music and stories. Too bad you didn't play "Apache" on the cruise - a favorite of mine since original US production.
We just returned from our Eurodam cruise and we so enjoyed your shows and look forward to enjoying your stories and music again!
Saw all your shows on the Eurodam last week. Jean and I enjoyed your music as well as the stories about music. We could relate to many of them as we grew up during alot of that era. Thanks for enriching our time onboard.
Curt and Jean Evans
We enjoyed your show on the MS EURODAM very much.
My wife, my son and myself were on the Eurodam Sept 21- Oct 1, 2008 cruise. We enjoyed the 4 shows that Dr Miller performed. What a great performer and storyteller!
My husband and I were introduced to you on the Eurodam. Now that I am home, I am anxious to receive the CD that I ordered today.
Absolutely LOVED your proformance.
Charlene Kidd
Fantastic work!
I was thrilled to hear you again on the Eurodam which sailed out of Quebec City 9/12. Your performances were the frosting on the cake after hearing you the first time last year.
We met you on the Eurodam. You have a unique and wonderful talent. Hope that you will decide to play the Vancouver Jazz Festival.
Traveled on Eurodam this past week and thoroughly enjoyed each and every performance. Bought all 3 CDs and love them
We just returned home from the 9/11/08 sailing on the Eurodam. Your shows were the best part of the cruise. The passion of music you relay to your audience is truly outstanding. We could have listened for hours. Hope to see you again one day soon.
We attended three of your four performances on the Eurodam cruise from Quebec to NY also. Seeing/listening to you was like capturing rays of sunshine and gladness. Many thanks for making our cruise a great journey.
We had the honor of being part of the audience on the Eurodam's Sept. 21st sailing. This was our 10th cruise on HAL. Justin, you introduced each note with precise detail. Indeed, only a genius would be capeable of this.
The stories captured the audience along with the variety of stringed instuments being played. The best entertainment ever experienced on any cruise.
We are now enjoying the music at home.
We just returned to our home following a 10 day cruise on the Eurodam's Quebec to New York cruise ending Sept.21. Your concerts and musical education programs are surpassed by no other guitarist. Hopefully, we will hear you again on another cruise.
By the way it was my husband who asked you about playing Klezmer music.
Greatly enjoyed your Eurodam concerts the end of July and beginning of August. Only problem - they were too short!
My wife and I recently travel on the Eurodam's Norway cruise. It was our great pleasure to attend your show as we have previously enjoyed your music on a past Baltic Cruise. The highlight for us was the impromtu hour of anecdotal material you gave on the composers from the past. Thank you for the enjoyment you gave us.
Rick & I enjoyed both of your shows on the Eurodam maiden voyage. If you perform in the Washington, DC area in the future, we would love to be notified. We have friends who would really enjoy your talent and your fabulous stories and history. We are enjoying the CDs. Thanks for a great performance! Vivian Kramer
Justin, we saw both performances on the maiden voyage of Eurodam. Simply awesome! Your performance as an artist and entertainer were just simply wonderful. Your enthusiasm for song, writers, and the stories from every genre are sooo very entertaining! You were the rare jewel discovered on this cruise. Thank You, Thank You!
Justin, I saw your musical and "story" shows on the Westerdam in April and really enjoyed every minute. Music is outstanding but the stories are even better! I cannot play or sing a note but have always been interested in some of the history behind the music and you really provided some interesting and entertaining stories. I got all of your CD's and have told others about them - so if you sell out, it is my fault! Please, Please do another CD with just stories --- and maybe a couple of songs or so with the new 'guitar'.
Justin, I had the opportunity to be in your audience on two levels; performer and story-teller on the March WWII in the Pacific Tour. I so enjoyed your music and stories. I spent a long career in book publishing and my experience and well-developed instincts tell me you would seem a natural for a work on the history of American music in context. You were one of the features that made that voyage seem far too short!
history of American music book
My husband and I just returned from the Panama Canal cruise aboard the Westerdam. We saw all of your presentations and bought the 3 CD's. You are absolutely amazing. I could listen to you for hours on end. Such talent. I searched through my old 33 1/3' and found the Getz/Gilberto album with Joao Gilberto and Astrid Gilberto. Do I have a collector's item? Surely hope I have the opportunity to see you perform again.
Just home from the Panama, where we enjoyed you on the Amsterdam. Yesterday we saw a local production of "The Sound of Music" so I have Eidelwiess playing as I type this. My husbank and I can't decide which we loved more, your music or your stories - all in all your programs were the very best memory of this wonderful trip. Thank you.
Saw your acts on the Westerdam recently and you blew my wife and I away. Music was great but stories were even better. Keep up the great work. I'm passing your site on to friends and kids.
I have just returned home from the Panama cruise on the Westerdam. Your show was outstanding. Loved the afternoon sessions about the great songwriters. You are a true treasure. Thank you. Mary Winegar
My wife and I enjoyed your playing and talks on the HAL Statnedam (Japan, Korea, China). Your insider talks on artists were very lively and enjoyable. It was a winning format for your shows. 4,16,08
Justin:
We caught both your concerts and your great lectures on American music in context like I have never heard it before. You have a book on history of American music in you like few people I have had the pleasure of witnessing. Again, as I told you peronally, I REALLY appreciated the due attention and praise you paid my favorite lyracist, Johnny Mercer! SKYLARK lives!
Mr. Miller,
I was on the Noordam cruise, Jan. 5, 2008, and had the honor of attending each of your sessions. I was astounded at just how beautiful your playing was but maybe even more astounded and surprised at the wealth of knowledge and experience that you showered on us in the audience. You told the stories with such enthusiasm! Yours were far and away the best of any sessions/shows I have been to in my 6 cruises. Thank you very much. Best wishes, Bill Kitchin, Loyola College, Baltimore, MD 2/4/2008
Your show on the Noordam was wonderful. Being a longtime lover of taditional Bluegrass hearing you play was just amazing. Enjoyed your stories, your energy, and your passion for all music now and then. Thank you, your performace was truely uplifting!
Carol Anne and James
