Point Of View (Spyro Gyra album)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Point Of View was released in 1989; it is Spyro Gyra's 13th album. The album cover shows a lizard climbing from a puddle on the pavement, up to the sidewalk next to a fire hydrant. The puddle mirrors a somewhat bizarre view of what seems like a jungle right behind the hydrant.
