“There {} a strategy to create a document,” says Finlayson of those Off Is Mine sessions. “The entire thing was I understood that this was a wonderful way to spend some time together with Gord, listening to songs, talking about songs, discussing things that we had always discussed. And that only evolved fairly organically.”
