Louis McManus : Cracked Pitcher

From the 1999 compilation CD 'With A Heart And A Hand'.
An apparently otherwise unrecorded Reg Mombassa song (Mental As Anything / Dog Trumpet). No clue is given as to when and for what project this eccentric love song was recorded. Louis plays guitar and shares the vocals with his younger brother Antony.
Louis McManus (born 1956, Glasgow, Scotland - died 12 December 2004, aged 48) was a Scots-born Australian fiddle player, mandolinist, and guitarist. His family migrated to Australia in 1962. He played with a number of acts in this time including The Bushwackers.
"With a heart and a hand is a compilation of performances by Louis spanning almost 25 years. It was produced by his wife Max, aided by friends and colleagues, following his second stroke in 1998, which forced him to abandon plans for a solo CD. There are appearances at clubs and festivals and odd tracks recorded in studios, some at the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). Although the disc is really a scrapbook, Louis’ technical brilliance and sense of musical fun shine through very strongly." (Trad And Now)
