I think it’s time for me to start giving back. There was only one reason I became sounds editor of the Free Lance-Star: to give back to the Fredericksburg community I love. I just haven’t felt like doing it. Until now. After a successful dentist appointment this morning (no flossing admonitions!), I now feel that I am capable of giving back in grand and unexpected ways.

I give my gift in the form of a service. I am willing to use my vast stores of musical knowledge to improve your life, as if I don’t already do that. But this time, it’s personal.

Send me a song and I will dissect it / comment on it / rate it / explain why it makes me retch. I’m talking any song–it could be your favorite or the arch-nemesis of your ears. No matter what it is, I promise to question your taste. Or maybe I’ll love it, in which case you should probably question your own taste.

So there it is, my service to you. Submit your songs below, or email me at jbeals@freelancestar.com.
