Blue Front Persuaders Where are they now?

I saw a photo of Steve Wethy and the blue front persuaders (probably from early 80s) and it took me way back. I remember following this band all around Ann Arbor (including a high school auditorium) and to the Soup Kitchen Saloon in Detroit. They were a great band, very unique, and I don't think there will ever be another one like them. I saw this photo on a blog about Charlie Tysklind, who passed away.

I'm just wondering what happened to the other members of the band, if they are around, performing in any way. It was a great time and they were one of the best blues bands around. I remember they did a great rendition of Minnie the Moocher, the Flintstones theme, Call the Police, Whiskey on the Shelf and so many other songs I can't remember the names of.
