Welcome!

I stumbled across your KZbin channel the other day and I’m very pleased with all of your videos and information within said videos. One topic that many people might find useful that I don’t think you’ve covered would be “band practice”. I’m sure you could come up with many bullet points to talk about. It can be overwhelming for someone either starting a band or just having a solo/duo act. I know what I do during practice and what I need to focus on, but it can be overwhelming for some novice musicians just starting out. For example, just the basic flow of the practice. Where do you put your focus? Do you emphasize certain things to your band mates? How do you choose your set list/order of songs? Does it depend on the gig? Do you put certain people in charge of keeping notes or making changes to songs? Etc etc. Just thought it would be a good topic to touch on. I’m actually disappointed with the lack of views your channel has. You’re very informative, helpful, polite, etc. All good things my friend. Thank you for all that you do and all of the invaluable information you put out.

That's a great idea for a video topic. Thanks, Dan!

Has a sole proprietorship do you need to get into the quarterly estimated taxes? Or do you just do it at the end of the year with your regular taxes and the schedule C handles all that?

I just do mine at the end of the year. A corporation would be more complex, and would probably require quarterly reporting. Thanks!
