It was about sunrise when I met this guy on the streets of the French Quarter and bought him coffee. I don't know if he's still around -- that was some 20 years ago -- but a two-hour conversation affected my life more than I would have ever known…

A beautiful song by our fellow Canadian Bruce Cockburn. Guitars by Dave Berry Vocals and Moog synth by Sandy Gritt

This is really old. Something I made one "intoxicated" evening when I thought I had to be really cool if I wanted to be really cool. Drum track, vocal and everything else is acoustic guitars in various states of mistune. It sounded really cool…

A Song I wrote about a friend of mine who used to Jump out of planes a lot. This is one of the hidden tracks on my new album "Black Cat" which features Beth, Keith and Reewfwalker from alonetone and Geir and Jim from Songcrafters. Here is a…

Vocals: Tricia Dovidio Lyrics: Bob Beckley Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).

A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar. Any Landing Learning…

A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010. It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...

Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009. I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in. The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…
