Leslie Lemke

9/14/08

This YouTube video features an amazing musician. Leslie Lemke was born severely disabled. He is blind, autistic and has trouble controlling his muscles. He was 15-years-old before he learned to walk.

Leslie was adopted by May Lemke shortly after his birth. She was determined to get him walking and feeding himself. She also played the piano for him each night.

One night, while in bed, May heard music. She thought that maybe the television was on. But she discovered Leslie, now 16-years-old, at the piano. He was playing Tchaikovsky. In this video you’ll meet both Leslie and May.
