Michael was an important part of the Melbourne folk scene in the day. He had a wicked sense of humour and was one of the 'lads' around the traps, folk clubs, pubs and festivals. If anyone would like to hear some of his work it is accessible through the National Library of Australia at this link: https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Search/Home?lookfor=author:%22O%27Rourke%2C%20Michael%22&iknowwhatimean=1 I last saw him in Brisbane not long before he passed from us. I feel privileged to be able to have called him a friend. RIP Michael. Cheers, Andrez
