Phil, did you ever get my comment on better stressing on the 2 and the 4 in your songs (I think you reposted a couple of songs and lost the comments). That alone would bring you up to the 90's (ha, ha). Make your music "groove" more to get people to think that it sounds more "modern" I don't think it would be that hard in your stuff. That groove would make your guitar/vocal more fun to play, so that is benefit enough!
