Mike,

Here's a slightly uncommon key modulation that I used in one song...key of G modulating to key of A (2/4 or 4/4 time):

G-C-F-Bb-A7-D-D-Eb-E7-A

2 beats on G-C-F-Bb-A7-D and then 1 beat on D-Eb and 4 beats on E7, then start to progression in the new key of A. That is a very simplistic description. Does it make sense? When I was a young teenager in the early '60s, my local guitar hero, Charlie Tucker, said "I don't splain 'em...I just pick 'em"! And that often describes me...I can't always explain what I did in the jargon of music theory, but can damn sure play it...most of the time!

Nice thread. A key modulation always brings new energy to a song.
