This is my little part-time endeavor that started out as a means of accounting for my expenses that are related to my activities as a musician. I play clarinet and sax in a couple bands -- only playing occasionally, unfortunately... I wish I had the opportunity to play more often -- and I wanted to keep track of any money I made (or spent) in the process. I coined the "KCA" acronym as a means of separating music-related expenses from all my other hobbies (which are too numerous to mention).
As time went on, the purpose of KCA has expanded some...
I have since picked up responsibility for creation and maintenance of a few web sites, and discovered that I had expenses associated to those as well. This gradually turned into my own mini-ISP, and I now have a total of 7 web sites under my Reseller account with ResellerZoom.
Since all of the sites but 2 are band/music web sites, they are also related to the original purpose of this endeavor, so I've included that activity under the KCA umbrella. (I've placed a list of the sites at the bottom of this page. Feel free to check them out.)
So there you go.
Of course, there's more...
I have since started restoring old saxophones, and so the accounting of those expenses (and occasional income) fall under the purview of KCA as well.
And last but not least, I'm an aspiring composer, so anything related to my music compositions (primarily for junior high and high school bands, but some more difficult works as well) falls under this umbrella as well.
The bottom line here is that KCA is all about my love of music, the fact that I occasionally -- in one way or another -- make a little money at it, and the need to keep track of it all (I like staying on friendly terms with the IRS!). This is certainly more of a hobby than a business for now, but I'm hoping it will grow over time into a viable (post-retirement?) employment -- be it through playing in a band, web hosting, music composition, instrument repair, or any combination thereof.
I will expand this website to cover the details of my endeavors as time permits. But for now, this page serves as a placeholder to anyone curious about where the "KCA" comes from should they spot it on web sites, or other paraphernalia.
