The way she recounts her memories is genuinely enthralling. Even though this is only 4 minutes long, it felt like a captivating short story to me.

What a beautiful and inspiring story... this lady (and husband I'm sure) are true blessings.... Just awesome.

I can remember seeing this actual clip as a child on That's Incredible -- I'll never forget her words (at 2:22), "... and he was playing that piano!"

To see beauty like this in the world makes life so much more meaningful,..simple acts of kindness & love for one another. The music here brought me to tears…& Im thankful for it.

This Woman and Leslie came to my grade school(St. Anthony's) in Pewaukee, WI for a performance. I think they came each year when I was in 5th and 6th grade. Even back then, I remember it being quite remarkable. It's funny how I just stumbled across this clip all these years later.

Amazing. Truly. This is the sort of thing that brings a tear to my eye, when the impossible SOMEHOW happens. I can't even fathom the amazement his foster mom must have felt when she woke up to him playing that. It's completely insane.

31 yrs later, it’s still a great story.

I remember watching this when it first aired. I’m 68 years old. Music is undervalued.
