Ponty Bone is a Texan accordionist who has led his 1980s band, the Squeezetones to international popularity over a twenty-year period. ==History== Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Bone began studying accordion when he was only 5 years old. Later, he learned to play trumpet also. Ponty attended Texas Tech in Lubbock. Early in his career Bone was a member of the Joe Ely Band. By the mid-1980s, Ponty Bone had formed his own band, Ponty Bone & the Squeezetones. The group's early style ranged through Russian gypsy dances, reggae-blues, Tex-Mex polkas, and Cajun boogie. In 1987, the group made their singular appearance on the PBS music television program ''Austin City Limits'', as part of a "Squeezebox Special" episode, with Queen Ida and Santiago Jiménez, Jr.〔(Squeezebox Special with Queen Ida, Santiago Jimenez, Jr. and Ponty Bone ), Austin City Limits, 1987〕 Longtime Squeezetones bassist Wash Hamilton died in early 2008. With his band, Ponty has shared the stage with such artists as The Clash, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, King Flaco Jiménez, Linda Ronstadt and Ronnie Lane. Bone's album, "Fantasize" (on the Loud House label) has been described as drawing from Tex-Mex, rock, blues, R & B, zydeco, and even Caribbean music to create a whole new style.(Citation Needed) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ponty Bone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
