Here’s some background on the key players and artists on this site-
Rick Costello
Rick is the former Vice President of Covert Music Operations at the Exzel Music Co. and the primary songwriter and guitarist of Lost European – the greatest band that never was.
Rick is also the guitarist/songwriter of Angelwing, a no-hit wonder band that made it to #1 on the new age charts virtually without selling any records!
Rick has also created and released 2 other CDs- ‘The Lemming Shepherds’, a children’s CD-ROM storybook that promotes individual thinking and the compilation disc, ‘The Job Shopper Album’ an eclectic mix of standard and original songs for the Contract Engineer on the road. Three of Rick’s original songs were used in the feature movie ‘Jimi’, a biography of Jimi Hendrix, and Rick also had a cameo appearance in the film. The film, with a respectable budget of over $4 million dollars went nowhere and to this day cannot be found online or in any video stores.
Rick has been playing guitar since the age of twelve and has performed with legendary guitarist Richie Havens and has also appeared on ABC’s “In Concert”. If you watch the episode carefully, you can see most or Rick’s left arm appearing from the shadows for at least 3 seconds, maybe more! He recently retired from playing guitar because in his own words, “My elbow hurts!” He has recently created a few new websites. www.cloudscapescreensaver.com is a site that features beautiful animated screensavers and live wallpapers for computer and smartphones. These animated gems are filmed from exotic locations which conveniently make his vacations a great tax write-off!
www.bizarrewordbazaar.com is a site dedicated to the art of wordplay and features some very funny comics, photos, features and probably the greatest band name archive list in the world.
Rick recently created a new royalty free music library dedicated to Epic and Cinematic music. Epic-Royalty-Free-Music.com
Angelwing
Angelwing is simply put “Female Empowerment put to Music”. The driving force behind this incredible music is 2 angels in human form…
Reenie Varga is an aspiring singer/songwriter living in Los Angeles as well as an accomplished painter and actress and is the main vocal force behind Angelwing. She frequently performs in the LA area with the Reenie Varga Trio.
Reenie has appeared in films and has lent her voice and likeness to some very successful video games as well. Reenie attended the Tyler school of Art at Temple University and her oil painting ‘the Nymph’ graces the back cover of the Angelwing CD.
Erin Shawn Hawkins is a classically trained singer who got her start at the age of four. She took up the Cello at the ripe age of nine and has been playing ever since. She won the Utah state competition with her high school three years running and is a graduate of the University of Utah majoring in Fine Arts. Erin has her own solo album which was released in 2003.

Lost European
“The greatest band that never was” put out 2 incredible albums of memorable songs that nobody remembers…until now! Their legacy lives on! Lost European has a British sound mixing alternative with progressive rock . Led by front man and part time pirate Roy Lund, a man who could sing you under the table and where he usually ended up by the end of the night due to his love of bourbon and women (usually of the female persuasion).
Morgan Greig, a founding member, was the band’s original keyboardist until one day he buggered off to Seattle where he is now a virtual recluse (except to his many friends and fans) Morgan has a wonderful knack for ‘that old time music’ and never met a song that he couldn’t beat to death.
Gary Strausbaugh is the band’s keyboardist and Producer. He has been on many top selling albums of great artists, most of whom are dead or nearly so. Gary is a bonafide music genius who will begrudgingly produce your music for a nominal fee.
Frank Danna is the masterful lead guitarist whose unique solos add so much to the Lost European sound. He is truly a guitar virtuoso.
Matt Hennager is another masterful lead guitarist who toured with Lost European and also contributed to many of the songs on our albums as well as concert recordings.
Jimmy Mack is the ultimate bass player and toured with Lost European in the early 90’s. In the 1970’s and early 80’s Jimmy performed and recorded with Sly & The Family Stone (1974-76) and for four years toured nationally and internationally with Edwin Starr & Starrchild (1978-1982)
Randy Walker toured with Lost European and also joined the band for a set of concerts with the legendary Richie Havens. Randy is an amazing drummer and has his own production company in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Lemming Shepherds
The Lemming Shepherds is the brain fart of Rick Costello. Secluded for long periods of time, highly delusional and suffering from serious isolation, he feverishly composed the soundtrack and penned the story of two renegade lemmings who refused to join the crowd. Along with Los Angeles artist Dave Shelton (of National Lampoon fame) and Music Producer Gary Strausbaugh, they created an interactive Storybook CD-Rom for children. A few rare copies of the actual book and CD are still in existence and may be found in garage sales or on Ebay. There’s even a few Chinese knock-offs floating around out there.

Meet Frank Danna
Frank is a virtuoso on the guitar and a master multi-instrumentalist. He is the former guitarist for the Edge, a Phoenix based hard rock band, and progressed into studio session work at Gemini Records in the mid 80’s contributing guitar tracks for Dan Rivera’s solo albums and working with Grammy award winning producers Jose Silva and Bebu Silvetti.
He also contributed lead guitar for the Exzel Music Co, playing on songs from Lost European’s debut album and their 2nd album ‘Images’ as well as The Job Shopper album, The Lemming Shepherd’s ‘Symphony for the Census’ and Angelwing’s ‘the Nymphaeum’ which reached #1 on the New Age charts.
He has contributed his talents to the Monroe Institute and Dimensional Visions.
His live performance span is over 45 years! At this point, he is creating arrangements in his state of the art home studio, producing music for the sync music industry, and writing for pleasure.
Here is a sample of his guitar playing mastery on ‘Jet Black Rose’
