03 June
Updates:
I realize that some of you, especially
newer Brad fans, wonder why you may see mention of Brad's involvement with
future productions on other sites or on chat pages/message boards
before you see it on Brad's web site. When it comes to posting ANY upcoming
projects, I do not post them until Brad specifically ask me to do so. Generally
he will wait till he is under contract. Sometimes we will post something
that he has been asked to do but will specify that there is not a signed
contract. As many of you know, until the contract is signed - things can
change. A perfect example of this is Pirates of Penzance. Once he
has signed a contract, we will let you know and we will post the details
of the production or project on the web site.
28 May
Updates:
Brad has been asked to play the
role of Jekyll/Hyde in a production of Jekyll and Hyde at a regional
theater on Long Island. The contract is still in negotiations, so it is
not definite at this time. We will be sure to keep things updated and let
you know once things are confirmed one way or the other.
20 May
Updates:
Brad's concert in Green Bay was
phenomenal. He sang to a near sold out house and received three curtain
calls after an encore in which he sang "Music of the Night". Look for a
list of songs that he sang to be posted in the near future. One very special
treat was "All for the Best" where Brad was joined on stage by his brother
Jeff. Quite the talented family.

Updates:
I hope that everyone had a very
Merry Christmas!
Thanks to all of your generous support,
we were able to adopt the 6 cheetah cubs and make a $20.00 donation to
CCF's dog program (at request of Angel Fund). The people at WILD (the foundation
that collects funds for CCF) were very appreciative of the generous donation
to CCF. The adoption packet will be mailed at the beginning of the week
and I will get to Brad as soon as possible. I know that both he and Barbara
will be thrilled. ~ We now have a very special treat on the Did You
Know
page. Laurie Marker did a Q and A regarding cheetahs and
CCF. I hope that everyone finds it to be interesting and informative.
There is a new photo on the Photo

should be out very soon. If you have not re-newed your BLIH membership,
now is the time to do so as to not miss the next exciting issue of BLIH.

To all ~ May you and your families
have a very Merry Christmas. The total for Brad and Barbara's cheetah adoption
is forthcoming. The details of what we were able to do will be posted very
soon. Look for lots of new after Christmas goodies on the web site.
And now on a sad note. Maya, Brad's
favorite cheetah, passed away last night. She had been quite ill and they
were going to have to put her down but she slipped away on her own.
Of course Brad is deeply saddened by her passing but he is doing fine.
Maya certainly has done so much in her lifetime to draw attention to the
needs of cheetahs in the wild. Her title of "Cat Ambassador" was one that
she lived to the fullest. She will be greatly missed by all who's lives
she touched.
12 December

18. He will be back on Tuesday the 20th. (no show Monday). His first
night back into the show was June the 30th and all is going well.
I apologize for the lack of information
as of late on the web site. Just after the Angels of Music concert, we
left for a holiday in Ireland. We returned late last week but I could not
turn down an opportunity to spend the Fourth of July holiday with friends,
so I was on yet another plane, this time headed west. I have returned and
will be updating the web site over the next few days. There is alot to
report on the Angels of Music concert (a huge success), as well as cast
updates and news on upcoming changes to the Fan Club. I should have the
initial updates up by tomorrow night. Thanks for your patience on this
matter. Also, if any of you have pictures from the Angels of Music concert
(Barb P), I was too busy with everything else that night to get any of
my own, so please feel free to forward any photos that you would like on
the site. Thanks for your help.

Cincinnati Zoo:
For those of you joining us at
the zoo on the 15th. The cat show is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on the
15th. The facility for the cat show is away from the main exhibits at the
zoo in the Animal Recreation Center or ARC. ARC is located next to
the zoo's marketing offices. Once you are inside of the entrance gates
of the zoo, and getting ready to enter the exhibit areas (bathrooms and
membership center and gift shop to the right, another gift shop to the
left) ARC will be behind you and across the parking lot. If all else fails,
ask directions. We have a great zoo, so arrive early and spend the
day. The gates for the Red's game open at 5:35 p.m. Pre-game starts at
6:35 pm.
Important note about Music Hall.
It is lovely, it is historic but it is not in the safest area of Cincinnati.
Please plan on arriving and departing via vehicle or taxi cab. If
you come in you own car, walk out together. This is not the area
of town that you want to be out walking at night.

First of all Brad is having a great time in Jacksonville and has enjoyed
seeing so many of you at the stage door. Even though he is going to be

web site, so please keep posted. Lea Sheler has graciously re-designed
the sites entry page. I will have that up and running as soon as possible.

sections. There is some important information on the Member's Only Page
for fan club members. Please check that out. There is now a flyer advertsing
Brad's CD available for you to print and post. You will find this on the
Brad's Page along with all of the other CD information. The flyer was also
designed by Lea Sheler. You may want to post this flyer at work, church
or anywhere else there will be people that would appreciate an chance to
order Brad's CD. Thanks for your help on this. Also, some of you may have
heard that Brad might do a concert in Tampa in June. That concert has been
cancelled. Sorry. If Brad does have any appearances while he is on his

possible to make this site more accessible for those who are dyslexic.

the changes and additions will be based on Brad's input but I would certainly
welcome any from any of you that may have some expertise in this area.

06 February
Updates:
Brad is enjoying being South
for the winter and all is going well in Ft Myers. For those of you planning
on seeing the show and wanting to catch Brad at the stage door, there are
two of them. The one that Brad and other cast members exits is on the right
side of the building (when you are facing the entrance doors into
the theatre in the lobby of the arts center). It's hard to miss as
the Phantom truck is parked in the lot along that side of the building.
Regarding the extension of Brad's
contract beyond Jacksonville. At this point Brad's contract extension beyond
Jacksonville is a gentleman's agreement.................a verbal agreement.
As it stands now, Brad intends to take a three month leave from the
show. He will return to Phantom at the end of June in Salt Lake City. Keep
in mind, this is a gentleman's agreement and he has not signed a contract
at this time. Once everything is official and he has signed his contract,
we will let you all know. There is a link on the Tour page to the Official
Phantom site that has a list of dates and cities beyond Jacksonville. Please
note the following sections of the site have been updated. Cast List, Tour,
Articles and Member's Only. A new feature of the Member's Only section
will include articles and/or reviews that have not yet appeared on main
Articles section of the web site. You can now use the "last updated" date
on the Main Page to know when I have added something to the News section.

Angels of Music Benefit:
The date for the Angels of Music
Benefit has been set. It will take place at Music Hall in Cincinnati on
Monday, June 14. The event is in the planning stages so there are
many more details that will follow in the weeks and months to come. For
those of you unfamiliar with this event, Angels of Music is a benefit concert
that will involve Brad, Erich Kunzel of the Cincinnati Pops and (hopefully)
Barbara McCulloh. Maya (Brad's cheetah) is also scheduled to be at the
concert. The money raised from this event goes to the Angel Fund, which
supports the African cheetah. You can visit the Charities
Page for more information about the Angel Fund and the previous Angel's
of Music concert. This is an evening that you will not want to miss. If
you are a member of BLIH and are considering attending please e-mail me
at
BLIH@bradlittle.com we are
looking at adding special activities in conjunction with the concert. Possible
events would include a visit to the Cincinnati Zoo to meet Maya and attending
a Red's (baseball) game to see Brad perform the National Anthem. All of
these extra events are in the planning stage, they would probably take
place the weekend preceding the concert and could possibly run into the
Tuesday following. At this time we need to get an idea of how many might
attend and what days would work best for planned activities mark your calendars
and start planning !

29 March
VCR Alert!!
While recording his CD in Nashville,
Brad was visited by TNN at the studio. They taped a segment of Brad
and producer Skip Ewing in action as well as some footage of POTO. Air
date of the piece is not known at this time but will be listed here as
soon as the information becomes available!
18 March 1998
This was submitted by Shevhan
Brenneman who was in Nashville to assist Brad with his CD.
"NASHVILLE (March 18, 1998)
- This is the third day of recording at a renowned Nashville recording
studio. Platinum and gold albums hang on the walls. And it looks just like
it looks in movies and TV....tiny and dimly lit rooms with hardwood floors,
engineering boards with millions of knobs, lights and switches and music
equipment everywhere. The producer is Skip Ewing who is tops in his field
and who has been nominated for several Grammy's. The musicians (Bob, Matt,
Kat, and Mike) are warm, welcoming, and are the top studio musicians in
Nashville. Ed is the engineer. Brad sings from a tiny little black booth
with sliding glass doors. He's chugging gallons of water from a plastic
jug in between takes. Yesterday was "Music of the Night" and a well-loved
song that will be a duet between Brad and his wife Barbara. Today was a
Cole Porter classic and an original Skip Ewing song that's sure to hit
the airwaves across the nation. This afternoon's session will be dedicated
to "punching in" parts of the Ewing song that either need to be added or
corrected. Listening to the first complete run-through of the Ewing song,
I couldn't help but feel that I was present at the creation of something
great. This will be the song that rockets Brad to super stardom. Brad wasn't
happy with his vocals on it this morning, so later today when they're punching-in
more instrumentals, they'll re-record Brad, too.
We have 6 more songs to record
and about 3 more days of studio time. Barbara will be here on Monday to
record her vocals. This is going to be one great CD!"
