MINDSPEAK & Jeremy dePrisco



		Listening Habits This page gives the viewer an idea of my broad listening tastes. This page is approaching a chronicle of 10 years of listening! It clearly demonstrates the diverse musical landscape available to us today. Much of what you see below is not on the radio. No longer are we required to accept what Top 40 and Classic Rock radio dictate. If you would like more information about any of this music, some of which is rare, please let me know and I'll help you track it down. I especially hope that musicians will take to heart that the only way to expand your musical consciousness is by soaking up as much diverse music as possible. It is a true musician's responsibility, regardless of physical ability, to expose their mind (and spirit) to all forms of music.
