My self summary:
The week of September 11, 2001, my room mate laying next to me in his own bed, shared just the two of us, he was by all definition, with sandals, robe, long white beard and mustache, long to his waist fluffy white hair and elder age, none other than God. I asked God who is my best friend for better and worse. I closed my eyes, opened a new to me huge bible and randomly placed my index finger on my own brothers name. "Troy" is tattooed on my left hand fingers, put there one week after he passed June 2011. If you are interested in knowing me beyond this profile, I humbly suggest asking me about life as a life long Cape Cod resident, long time married man, single since March 2008, international musician, "hand me down" homegrown CIA in-law and business partner trained intelligence informant involving all 20 hijackers and life from 1984 leading up to that insane day in history and being a court ordered mental health patient, a world frequently abused and neglected while publicly heralded humane by and largely the free press. I'll gladly talk with you. You may find my story 26 pages and growing online. "Sci Fi Fantasy Intertwined With Pre & Post September 11, 2001" (An Excerpt) in GoogleGroups, "alt.politics.org.cia" https://groups.google.com/g/alt.politics.org.cia/c/lUqWWRvh41I Also in full as "Life As A Mental Health Patient" at: https://mahlers.net
This is the saddest song ever written:
Musicality, prescience & precognition defined is: "Prelude To September 11, 2001 - Leonda (I'm Coming Home)" a cryptic bullseye both in words and annunciation, serious, sad, somber and melancholy, created and recorded in 16 bit two channel stereo for the first time ever in front of a coffee house sized audience, Wednesday, August 29, 2001. I am the man totally responsible for the song, singer - songwriter and sole copyright owner, represented by BMI. Online everywhere and also at the unanimously best independent artist full service provider in the free world. https://www.reverbnation.com/williammahler/song/32148638-prelude-to-september-11-2001-leonda
My favorite sci-fi / fantasy story
"The 40 Minute War" by my life long friend, mentor and ex-in-law Janet Morris & her husband Christopher Morris. Janet & I spoke about the thriller prior to its August 1984 public world wide release, a real sixteen year ahead of time bullseye about the greatest American tragedy of all time, September 11, 2001. 20 Middle Eastern terrorists, a passenger jet and Washington DC as their target. Familiar? The book is largely why the CIA hired my then in-laws, mentors and fellow authors, 1989-1994. The three of us became known as M2 Technologies Inc. a non-lethal creative intelligence technology consulting privately owned business, #1 nationwide shortly after 09/11/01. It's been largely and widely believed the book is why central DC was spared.
The greatest day of my life so far:
Little league playoff game, I pitched the ultimate no hitter, 81 pitches all strikes, 27 outs, nine complete innings and hit a 2 run inside the park home run. A neck and neck runner up? Divorce day come finalized, March 2008.
If money were no concern, this is what I would be doing
In my own recording studio donating music for UNICEF.Org, MindFreedom.Org, Cancer.Org, MSPCA.Org, and the unsuspecting listening world wide audience.
I'm really good at
Boasting how bad you'll lose in Rummy 500 only to eat crow most of my time.
My golden rule
You got to treat yourself like #1
A time I felt "at one" with nature
Out at Crystal Lake in West Barnstable upon wading out to knee deep several yards from shore with only my birthday suit on in the quiet pre dawn summer night. Secondly, while working on estate property as a landscaper eating an attached to the tree Macintosh apple. Thirdly while almost running over a totally at ease skunk with my bicycle in the dead of night. As a child, anywhere in Eastham of Cape Cod and on the coast of Marshfield to Green Harbor was filled with wonderment and a socially huge sense of well being and personal security almost 100% of my youth. Blessed.
The last movie I saw
Did you experience "A Star Is Born" with Bradley Cooper & Lady Ga Ga? Tear jerker, made me reflect upon my own life. 11/24/2020. I enjoyed a fellow Mahler performance in "The Wretched" and Disney's reboot of "Mulan". "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Sasha Baron Cohen imho, would've made a better Freddie Mercury). A long time ago, "Forrest Gump", "The Hobbit" & "Lord Of The Ring" Trilogies, all "Star Wars", war flicks, anything Adam Sandler or Robin Williams. All "Friday The 13th", "Nightmare On Elm Street", "Halloween". "Star Trek", "Ol Yeller", Disney classics.
The song I listen to when I want to remember a certain moment in time
Anything from my own repertoire, Americana, Country - Blues - Folk - Rock, unrehearsed demos good enough to call finished, a 27 song digital release with covers of Queen & Warren Zevon for good measure, William Mahler "Outshining The Sun" available everywhere music is sold and streams freely online. https://reverbnation.com/williammahler and https://mahlers.net
My go-to restaurant
The little out of the way mom and pop place such as Jerry's Seafood in West Yarmouth, MA. by Parkers River or Golden Sails Chinese on West Main Street in Hyannis or my Ma's kitchen.
.
Best meal you've cooked?
Too many to list but a clear standout is a good grilled New York strip steak marinated in Italian dressing. A close runner up is a 25 pound turkey at 200 degrees for 20 hours in a convection oven. The juicy meat fell off the bone by itself. Third is a pan fried broiler finished 3 egg, 1/2 football sized omelet.
Favorite LGBTQIA+ icon
Melissa Etheridge personally and professionally reached out to me more than once and I consider her a friend. Her original music reaches anyone beyond her lifestyle choice and personally spoke for me when even I couldn't come up with the right words "It's Only Me" from "Skin". Freddie Mercury, alas, is the best runaway example of living life to it's fullest under extreme near death times. During the Innuendo sessions, he battled full blown HIV/AIDS and was weeks away from Heaven yet he managed to record his finest vocals of his entire career. Very few singers of rock can reach Freddie's octaves (I can) and again, Freddie was undeniably near death. Queen 1991 "Innuendo".
This was the greatest moment in sports
Jason Veritek, catcher of the Boston Red Sox, in what would've been a season without playoffs, single handedly sparks the Red Sox into a long streak of wins when Alex Rodriguez of the damn Yankees arrogantly and slowly makes his way towards home plate only for Jason to launch his glove into Alex's face and promptly beat him into submission, The rest is 2004 World Series Red Sox championship history.
Stephen Sondheim or Andrew Lloyd Webber?
Please, I'll take my man with the same last name as me, Gustav Mahler before Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss, Debussy, Bernstein, Sondheim or Webber and any so called classical composer ever known to or will exist, Mahler is the total example of precognition through music and I share his unique talents in his lesser known roots of Americana, Blue Grass, Country Rock, Rock, Folk & blues.
Cats or dogs?
Maine Coon Cat or Yellow Lab I hope to be with. Both really.
Why work is important to me
It's a complete sense of personal and professional accomplishment through trial and error. To actually help someone feel and think better of their very self.
The first time I truly believed in a higher power was:
A Christian church setting started when I was probably four, attending a local in Eastham with my friend Brad, my brother was too young and Brad's Dad, Fred. Christian churches stayed with me as a pre-teen attending with my neighbors an unofficial babysitters Viola & Ducky. My church is my soul, not a building or book.
