Default Craig Ventresco & Meredith Axelrod--"Red Onion Rag"

Here's a mighty fine version of "Red Onion Rag" by Craig Ventresco and Meredith Axelrod. They play some superior music together, indeed, IMOPE (in my own personal estimation)--terrific tunes from the Tin Pan Alley era.

This is an mp4 file, by the way:

"Red Onion Rag" (Abe Oleman composer, 1912)--Craig on his Fraulini guitar; Meredith on her John DeLapp guitar. Performed live on 5-21-2021. From their daily live stream, available through Meredith's YouTube and Facebook pages.

"Red Onion Rag"

YouTube too. They are beyond praise, and Craig is an absolute master.

Love those guys and watch almost all episodes. Craig can play circles around the whole fretboard, and read comments on FB at the same time lol.

Another vote for these two. Really enjoy those old time songs and the way they perform them. Pretty impressive that they've been producing an hour long video almost every night.

Tonight marks their 500th show online! What a milestone! Craig stated they've played over 1500 different songs since starting--and IMO none are easy, either musically or lyrically! Tune in at 8:00 PST on Meredith Axelrod's YouTube or Facebook page.
