Bob,

Loved! listening to that!

Your writing style (lyrics) and vocal work well with this "modern" treatment.
And a fine treatment it is! Cool choices for tracks. The combination of synth pads and 2-note guitar is a great choice. Drum choices work, too.
The nice thing about this is it "sounds modern" (I'm getting to where I hate hearing that phrase again) without "trying". It just IS.
Excellent job creating this. I'd call this a HUGE success.
