One Article stated that Lloyd Green played Steel on all Eddie Rabbit's songs. Has anyone tabbed the Steel work in "Two Dollars in the Juke Box" song? The rif between stanzas is reasonably simple, but the middle break has some things to be learned.

I believe that was Sonny Garrish. That's what I had heard. The only 2 listed are Sonny and Hal Rugg. Didn't really sound like Hal to me.

It's Paul Franklin....... maybe someone with the vinyl copy can verify that, I remember running down to the record shop and looking. I used to drive the record shop guy crazy, I would always look at the credits before I bought an album. One day he confronted me, and I found out that he didn't know that the studio players were listed on the back. I still use licks I learned from that song.

I guess the article was incorrect; I am happy to know who the artist really was. The question still remains, does anyone have tabs for the middle steel part by Sonny?

ha ha ..i always get a kick out of conflicting definitive answers. i'd like to believe jim cause i know him to be a sane intelligent person.
but i know how all this gets misconstrued. i'd have probably thought sonny....but now i'd like to hear it again.
there was a used records store downtown sacramento
where i got most of my records. it was called
'records'. like jim, i immediately looked for steel credits first. i would by anything with a good steel listed. the records ranged from about $2 to $4.
gary stewart, conway, all kinds of buddy emmons albums, etc.

I've seen Sonny listed on many Eddie Rabbitt albums. Never seen Paul on one though. But could have been.

Put on headphones, and a lot of the steel work is double tracked. A trademark of Sonny's. It would be nice to find out for sure.

I used to play this song a million years ago, and had the solo pretty close. Bear in mind that the solo was double tracked. I'll try to see if I can remember it. Maybe someone will chime in first.

sonny's tone is smooth and his licks tastefully placed.

Paul was on "On Second Thought". "Two Dollars In The Jukebox" featured Sonny.

A great example 👏 of backup playing that is both "fancy yet fits". On a live version on YouTube from the 9/28/21 show by Josh Headley frome Dees's Lounge, with Awesome Eddy Langeon steel & I think it's William on great Tele play'n, they play it twin guitar style. I just assumed the original was twin guitars but the experts say Sonny double his parts. Pardon my ignorance, I'm from California, lol 😄

If you're looking for a nice instrumental of this song......

It's on "The Show Pro" CD that Jeff Surratt produced.

Pat Severs, IMO, did a masterful job !

Eddie’s song, On Second Thought, is definitely Paul Franklin.

According to the album credits, It's either Hal or Sonny. I would guess Sonny.

Definitely Sonny. Doesn't sound like Hal at all.

Does anyone recognize Eddie's steel player from this TV spot in 1991 performing "But On Second Thought" ?

Steel solo comes in around 2:17.

Hey Herb,

That's Ned Davis, he took my place on Eddie's gig when I left (1988, or maybe '89) and he stayed with the band until the end of Eddie's career. Good guy and good player.

Hope you're well!

Hey Pete!

Thanks, ol' buddy. I'm doing well, pretty much retired from steel picking, though I did play a 50th Reunion of the 1970's Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys at the Broken Spoke last month. 'Twas a hoot and a half.
