Alternate drummer for the reunited Royal Guardsmen . He and fellow Guardsman Pat Waddell had a band around the same time as the first incarnation of The Royal Guardsmen , between 1966 and 1969, called People’s Will, based in Ocala, Florida. Influenced by The Beatles , Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Eric Burdon & The Animals, People’s Will was a cover band which on a typical night performed “House of the Rising Sun”, “I Saw Her Standing There”, and “Proud Mary”. Dressed to the nines in Nehru jackets, they were a hit on the Florida college circuit. Although they never broke out like their contemporaries, The Royal Guardsmen , Cosner and Waddell got a chance to join that band around 2005 for a reunion tour. Rick co-owns a music business along with former People’s Will bassist Skip Wincek.
