'BO-do some of dat deep research you normally do and find out what happened to both Lee and Frosty!

AYB, Brother and here 'tis:
Lee Michaels--According to this Site (Concert #8), he's out of the music biz after some unfortunate events: http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewwork.asp?id=20450
OTOH here's his Website: http://www.leemichaels.com/LeeMichaels.com/home.html
And here's the restaurant: http://killershrimp.com/
Bartholomew Eugene Smith-Frost ("Frosty")--Can't find out much past 2000, but if he's gigging, it's probably in the Austin, TX. area. Will continue to research.
