 I was brought up on classic country music at an early age.  Johnny Cash, 
 Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Glen Campbell and many more but I don't remember 
 that much about it. 
  
 KISS was my first rock band favorite and despite the departure of founding 
 members Ace Frehley & Peter Criss, I've enjoyed their latest release 
 "Monster".  If not for the current drummer Eric Singer and his song "All For 
 The Love Of Rock And Roll", the release would've tanked sorry to say even 
 though Singers song wasn't a single nor have they decided to play it live. 
 Singer was ignored on "Sonic Boom" with "All For The Glory" which was a 
 favorite of ESPN Sport Center. 
  
 Currently, I'm trying to listen to Freddie Mercury's last song with Queen 
 "Let Me In Your Heart Again" via Facebook and the video broadcaster "Vimeo" 
 it is streaming much better now as I type unlike the first time.  Now I 
 thought "Mother Love" was the last track Freddie recorded and even that was 
 unfinished but released in 1995 off of "Made In Heaven" with Brian May 
 singing the last verse.  Is this really Freddie?  Queen "Forever" is to be 
 released soon but I'm not buying it, it is full of slow ballads from 
 previous releases and has a ballad version of "Love Kills" along with a duet 
 with Michael Jackson "There Must Be More To Life Than This".  If you are 
 interested in a great album by Queen that is up to par with "Bohemian 
 Rhapsody" I suggest their second release "II" with "Father To Son", "Ogre 
 Battle" & "Funny How Love Is". 
  
 I miss performing on stage and look forward to getting out to the Compound 
 Bar & Grill for open mic night in downtown Hyannis, it's been since fall 
 2008 that I performed live at the now defunct Black Spot Cafe of which was 
 in the same building as the legendary Prodigal Son, 10 Ocean Street, 
 Hyannis, MA. 
  
 How I would love to find a guitarist who would not mind playing acoustic 
 here in this dining room with great acoustics!  Make it up as we go along, 
 just like Dan Langlias and I did at the Prodigal Son.  Two songs, "No 
 Highway" and "Rip It" came out of that public jam at the Prodigal Son.  "Rip 
 It" was well known by two teenagers walking on a side street somewhere in 
 New Hampshire back in 2004.  I had been blasting it driving my car and lost 
 trying to find a place to eat so I stopped and asked the kids and they 
 stated first they knew the song and they only heard like mabye 5 seconds of 
 it blaring out of my speakers.  I've been practicing in this home and when I 
 take walks. I get into Bruce Springsteen songs and today I covered "Racing 
 In The Street", "Thunder Road", "Cover Me" & "Badlands" along with my own 
 material.  Now really, what could I come up with while sighting Queen, Kiss 
 & Springsteen as influences?  "Got Me World Wide" and all 21 songs would 
 thrive with a full band of musicians of whom get into the same genre I do. 
 I learned that Nashville TN is loaded with open mics, jam bands unlike Cape 
 Cod. 
  
 I've got 21 original songs for sale via Itunes, Last.fm, Amazon.Com and more 
 coming, "Got Me World Wide" went viral two weeks ago and "Teddy's Song" the 
 first single is shining bright in many music players world wide for the song 
 streams freely for your listening pleasure along with the rest of the 2014 
 digital album.  Freestyle A-Capella - Bluesy - Jazzy - made up on the spot 
 first time live in concert performances in studio, on the streets of 
 Hyannis, Massachusetts USA and in the legendary coffee houses "Prodigal Son" 
 & "Black Spot Caf€", captured as it happened with no editing done other than 
 fade in and fade out all done by the master performer, me myself and I. 
 Please give 'em a listen and get back to me with your thoughts no matter 
 what they are, I appreciate your feedback.  If you like KISS, Queen, U2, 
 Melissa Etheridge & Bruce Springsteen, you'll hear the influences of all 
 those major recording and touring artists in me, W. K. Mahler and I'm 
 currently seeking local musicians for new collaborations here on Cape Cod, 
 email me at williamkeithmahler@gmail.com okay?  I look forward to you 
 writing of yourself so do so soon. 
  
 Thanks, take care!
