Hi Mike. I learned to play this when I was around 8 years of age and is one of the few piano pieces that I can still play . Now in my 70s my fingres are arthritic and I dont get to play as often as I used to. The Harry Lime them was from the original spy move back in the late 1930s or early 40s called the "The Third Man " It was in those days a black and white movie, I cant remember whay it was called the Harry Lime Theme but is still popular in this day and age of rubbish being churned out.

@steinwaygrande1 I would have to agree with you on that!!!

I am NOW trying to learn this semi difficult tune on my piano... Are you SURE you can't use an AMERICAN house boy to help you with chores and also play along with you?? I'd be gald to sell out and come over to Australia! Hugz, Allen Dale.

@allendale1962 Hey good luck with that (if you want any help just ask-I will try & help if I can). Haha I'm pretty much self-indepandant but thanks for the kind offer :-). I'm going to upload my own arrangement of "You Belong To Me" soon-I love your version just as much as Patsy's!

[allendale1962]

Hello Mike Woolette! I loved this song,and always wondered what the title was. I know now. Your fan, allen Dale.

@NanaJoan1 Hi NanaJoan. Thank you for your kind reply to my comment. Sadly I have all but stoped playing the piano due to Osteo Arthritis in my hands. On a good day I can still play the Harry LIme Theme from start to finish, but have to rest my hands after wards. The curse of growing old. Also the Steinway Grand that I had has been traded in for a Yamaha Disk Klavier, as we have down sized house to something more manageable. Kids all left home now. No need for a large house anymore.

@steinwaygrande1 You are absolutely right. I remember having the Sheet Music and playing this song called "The Third Man Theme" in the early 50s. Of course, my playing was far from the way Mke plays it. Nice to hear these old songs that will live on due to Mike playing them so well. I also agree with you about today's so called "music" - here today but gone by tomorrow!

That was great playing of the Harry Lime tune, mate. Well done (from UK).

Bravo, Mike!  Somewhere, Harry Lime is climbing out of his coffin, lol.
