Deej also feels it is important to share his message, particularly with the “older” crowd, that “It’s NEVER too late to do what you love!” H is message and example has inspired dozens of people to pick up a guitar, some already into their 80's.!! “For me, improvisation is the most honest form of playing because I can express through my instrument exactly what I'm feeling at that very moment in time. That is where you get to truly feel my heart and soul unfiltered! And nobody should ever feel like it's too late to get started on their own journey! ”-Deej SG This year's "& Co." guests include the Maine band "Voodoo Clowns" as well as guitarist Richard Corson.
