The Postcard Challenge - answers

On the first day, Shemvic nailed half the answer, identifying beautiful Salt Spring Island as the home of Valdy and Randy Bachman. I was thinking of Valdy, but of course both answers are acceptable. However, nobody got the second location and the second musician, and so sorry, no prize.

Both locations are in Canada, and I gave a clue to this when I wrote "mailed in the 70's, eh", using the cliche Canadian eh. I later gave the clue that both locations were surrounded by water. Candy Minx hit upon the idea that one is west coast and one is east coast, when she guessed Valdy and Stan Rogers. However, when I identify Stan Rogers with the east coast, it is with Nova Scotia, and the location is not in Nova Scotia.

You can see a ferry boat in the second picture, but if I used a more up-to-date postcard, you might have seen the Confederation Bridge, which would have been an obvious clue to Prince Edward Island. The musician I was thinking about is Stompin Tom Connors, who was born down there, and as well, wrote his most famous song about Bud the Spud from the Bright Red Mud, goin down the highway flyin...the spuds are big on the back of that rig, they're from Prince Edward Island.
