OTTAWA -- It's as if music, mischief, laughter and kindness were looking for somewhere to live and they found their dream home in Mike O'Reilly. O’Reilly, the legendary Ottawa artist, musician and comedian passed away Wednesday after a battle with cancer. He was 76. The legacy of Mike's talent and humour will live on in the memories of his friends, and his many international musical admirers. "Great entertainment with great musicianship and singing. Not too many do it all," says Al Bragg, steel guitar player, and Mike’s long-time pal, bandmate. But Mike did it all—for a lifetime—sharing songs and smiles like nobody else.
