Ouch. You posted about that, once. I can't pretend to know how hard that must have been.
As with most other things in life - be prompt, be polite, and keep trying.
Is this part 1 of "We're only in it for the money"?
I gig because I love to play, however Id never turn money down. As an original band, most of my gigs are unpaid.
Whats the most youve ever made for a gig, and how much effort was required on your part?

I've made a few hundred dollars for wedding gigs, and what was required was either learning charts, reading, or watching the bandleader's chording hand like a hawk (a gig at an Orthodox Jewish wedding where there were no charts and the songs were not typical "standards").
Do you write any of the songs that your band plays?

Ive cowritten a few of them. I have previously played in bands where the songs were written by me.

10/8 - particularly an Armenian 10/8 called "Jurjuna" (it's pronounced that way, although it's spelled differently, with that weird Turkish "C" that has a little line through the bottom). It's parsed 3-2-2-3, and it feels like 6/8. Very different than the basic "Mission Impossible/TV Car Chase 10/8" that's parsed 3-3-2-2.
I play a lot of odd meter in my Arab/Turkish music incarnation.
I'll also give a shameless plug for this 7/4 Funk tune that I wrote - from a recent gig:

Do you enjoy any styles of non-Western music?

arrgh !!! 
[DEL]I'll give ya two. I love both 3/4 and 7/4. Probably more than any other time sigs.[/DEL]
It's safe to say I haven't really found a musical style I don't like. I particularly enjoy folks music from around the world. It's such a great way to really know a people.
When you write songs, do you come up with the melody first or the lyrics?

Melody. Helps me figure out the cadence of the lyrical content.

[DEL]Chasin' the Dawg. Also up on the Funkranomicon channel.
Hmm.. that or Catwalk for Folk in A. I've been in a "songs for pets" kinda mood. Wrote both about the same time.[/DEL]
Funky, you beat me! Woot!
This past year, a few. Just getting far enough back into music for that to be happening (after a multi-year break).
The new Funkranomicon CD (released this month - still free downloads on Reverbnation):
Book of Funk
Chasin' the Dawg
Edgeville
This year's Folk in A CD:
Dona Elizabeta
The Oak and the Linden
Guess I haven't done too badly, creatively this year.
Is music your primary creative outlet?

These days, absolutely. I like to draw as well, but don't really do it very often any longer.
What is the funniest lyric you can think of?
What is the funniest lyric you can think of?
Probably on Abbey Road during The Sun King, when they're singing in 'Italian' and they slip the line 'cake and eat it' in.
Either that or on Tenacious D's debut, at the climax of Wonderboy, JB sings the line 'me and KG', then kg replies in a silly voice 'that's me'. It totally destroys the high point of the song in a very amusing manner.
Why is Funky Ghost called Funky Ghost?

Why is Funky Ghost called Funky Ghost?
Being honest, there's very, very little music that I would choose not to listen to, so I can't really answer the question.
Did you post in part one? What about part two?

Heh there is an entire thread dedicated to it
[DEL]I do, though. Even if I dislike the song, I tend to enjoy playing them.[/DEL]
I posted in part one and avoided stepping in number 2
How do you feel about Tattoos?

How do you feel about Tattoos?
Tattoos are cool. A well thought out one way cool. I do think some people should put more thought into what they are permanently inking on their body, though.
Do you have any tats?
Do you have any tats?
Not yet, but soon, when I have enough money to drop one, I will! I am having my gf, who is taking her sweet time, draw it up for me. Its an original and complex idea, so I can allow her to take her time xD
