Not only has Jim's music touched many lives, but his In the Mind's Eye has contributed an original spin to the the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Association's Symphony in Color program in which elementary school children, statewide, listen to classical music and portray what they have heard in their original artworks. It gives students another way to think about music and art. Beckel offers freshness and originality to all who pay attention. Take a good look at In the Mind's Eye. Then follow up with his many other delightful compositions. Congratulations to Jim--
