Randy Backman (from BTO and also the Guess Who) lives on a small island across from my island. If I ever win the mega lottery I'm going to buy a house in his neighbor hood so I can hear him jamming out with all the famous rockers thatat visit him. Cheers and happy weekend!

Not super famous, but Kathleen Edwards lives not too far from me. I drop into her coffee shop from time to time.

Never heard of Edwards before so I went and youtubed her
nice
Bto's first album was my first too
that was great as well

Lightfoot used to own the property besides my family home on Georgian bay and I think the cover shot for Don Quixote was taken there.
:)
Many of his albums live at my house.

Stan Rogers was from the town next door to that town, which is where I live now.

Old Randy Bachman (sic) doesn't live on Saltspring/never has that place out on the point on St Mary Lake is a vacation home/always has been.

I've fish around there for Smallmouth Bass for decades and have never actually seen anyone using the house except for a cleaner taking her coffee in the afternoon sun although there is evidence of kids using the little mini-beach & dock.

My Uncle has a cottage in the Eastern Townships of Quebec...Magog.

Donald Sutherland lives a few minutes walk from his place. I saw him and Keifer playing tennis one year at the local Club. He's not really liked too much in the area. He's a bit of a curmudgeon.
