Tuesday Evening in the South Bronx: SummerStage presents José Alberto "El Canario" at St. Mary's Park

The stalwart Bx19 bus got us into and out of Riverbank State Park in Harlem last night, and going the other way this evening, the Bx19 got us to St. Mary's Park in the South Bronx for a spectacular SummerStage show featuring José Alberto, "El Canario," the peerless Dominican singer of salsa romántica, who wowed the enormous crowd in a full-length performance of grace, soul and charm.

It was a terrific show, and we're grateful we got to be in St. Mary's Park tonight to see El Canario.

For some of us, it brought back great memories of the 1970s. Dreams, too.
