I encourage everyone to go to Bones' website and read his bio
http://www.frankiebones.com/index1.htm
It starts out - Frankie Bones, quite simply, the most influential artist
in American electronic dance music history. It gets funnier from there.
See how he claims to be one of NYC's first

He made great tracks and remixes with Tommy Musto, and his own tracks
