Oy! This is some depressing news. Great player, wonderful tones, essential Canterburian. RIP ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Same! His playing is at least partly what makes my favorite Matching Mole track my favorite. I think it's one of the great cuts to remember the one-of-a-kind musician that he was. ------------- Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided. |

Very sad news indeed.. Hatfield and the North and National health lps are just superb and his interplay with Dave Stewart is just the best ever! Rip Phil, thank you, your work has always made me very very happy. ------------- |

Oh.........Oh....... This one hits hard. I’m speechless. R.I.P. to one helluva legend. Your playing is my comfort zone, whenever life gets tough, anything from Delivery through In Cahoots tells me everything will work out fine. Goodbye, dear musical friend

| Sad news indeed. He was a true original. His playing with National Health and the Hatfields will always remain a source of wonder. |

Hi, Sadly or not, we all go sometime ... in the future, and I have come to grips with a few folks that I miss terribly, like Daevid A., or Rich W., or Edgar F., but the whole Canterbury scene, for me, was too special and neat, and it is difficult to see "all your friends" go out, one at a time, before you and I do. Sometimes, I simply tell myself, I just do not want to see/hear of any more of my "friends" leave us behind ... but the truth is ... that the universe continues, and we're just a part of it, and this is one of the little parts ... that are always hard for us to accept, when given our tendency to be so sentimental, or so much in love, that we do not see the larger picture. But yes, it is hard, in between ... to see our "friends" leave us. We will miss them and their contribution to our lives ... RIP Phil. The best for the family and Canterbury ... do we have to raise a glass or pint? Just say it! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

This is just another kick in my music appreciation head. I love canterbury music. I'll be listening to hatfield and national health all day.

I always loved his tasty tone. he was proof that you don't have to solo
at ultra-high speed (he never was fastest hand in the West) to be
highly effective. R.I.P.

Yeah, this is indeed sad news. Miller held his own among the other fine Hatfields which added to their brilliance. His was a very special sound. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |
