Kelly Park Jazz and Swing Ensemble at Alameda shopping center

There are no trains at Bay Farm in Alameda and certainly no trains at the lovely Harbor Bay Landing Shopping Center in Alameda. However, singer Lisa Lindsley did take the train and she thought about you. Lisa's rendition of the Ella Fitzgerald's hit song "I Took a Trip on the Train" was one of the ballads during her three hour concert at Harbor Bay Landing. Lisa also sang another song made popular by Ella Fitzgerald, "It's Only a Paper Moon." She ended her three hour concert of standards and show tunes with Nat King Cole's 1941 classic song "Tangerine."
