I started a joke - Bee Gees - Guitar instrumental by Dave Monk

"I Started a Joke" is a song by the English rock band Bee Gees from their 1968 album Idea, which was released as a single in December of that year, following the release of the album in September. it was written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb.
According to Robin Gibb, the melancholic melody of the song was inspired by the sounds on board an aeroplane:
"The melody to this one was heard aboard a British Airways Vickers Viscount about a hundred miles from Essen. It was one of those old four engine 'prop' jobs, that seemed to drone the passenger into a sort of hypnotic trance, only with this it was different. The droning, after a while, appeared to take the form of a tune, which mysteriously sounded like a church choir. So it was decided! We accosted the pilot, forced him to land in the nearest village and there; in a small pub, we finished the lyrics. Actually, it wasn't a village, it was the city, and it wasn't a pub, it was a hotel, and we didn't force the pilot to land in a field... but why ruin a perfectly good story?"
Here is my instrumental version. I hope you like it.
Dave

Beautiful I've loved the Bee Gee's and love this song beautiful it makes sway back forth❤

[@adrianlarkins7259]

What memories. I'm 75 now. This melody is special. My dear late mother was a fine ballroom dancer. Oddly, father was useless. Mother and I worked out a set slow foxtrot that would sometimes clear the floor so people would watch. Now mother is long gone and I've lost both my legs. Thank you Dave, You played this just at the right speed and cord.

[@arvindprabhakar1]

Stay strong my friend and cherish the lovely memories you have spent around with your wonderful mother. I am sure she is looking down from heaven and smiling with pride to know how strong and brave you are!! do enjoy this great channel!! Best Wishes...

[@darrelljohnson4011]

You sir , are absolutely fantastic. I have picked a guitar off & on for 40+ years & just found your music on RUclips & I truly believe you are one of the best guitar players I have ever heard. I would put you right up there with the likes of Hank Marvin & Roy Clark. A better compliment I could not give you. Keep it up. Live your music.

[@cjm52]

Hi Dave , I think this is a superb rendition , although many may not agree with me your renditions of such special songs have a massive impact and are a pleasure to listen to over and over again unlike normal instrumental covers , its probably because you are such a master and often bring out the vocals simulation with your playing and that is very relaxing to the listener. A very big thanks Chris

Thank you very much.
I'm just sorry that someone thought I was contriving to mislead people.
I just try to make the music a bit more interesting, using different angles, rather than only have one shot of me playing.
