Robert Cazimero did his final Christmas concerts last night (Dec. 20) at Chef Chai’s.
Several audience members – plus the performers, including Cazimero’s hula dancers Sky Perkins Gora and Keala “Bully” Makaiau – were decked in red attire. “Code Red” was the motif of Cazimero’s final performance till next year.
I asked Bully where he found his red trousers, and he remarked “I think I got it someplace like Gap (or Old Navy) 20 years ago…and it still fits.”
Since I reviewed Cazimero’s Tuesday’s performance, I’ll bypass the usual commentary and simply share a pictorial and say the evening was a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

All week, Cazimero was testing the jingle the water glasses sing-and-chime novelty, and had Saturday’s audience tingling to “Sleigh Ride” and “J-I-N-G-L-E Bells” plus the original “Jingle Bells,” and clearly will repeat this in his next series of holiday shows.
The Haradas had red gear, too; so did our grand nephew John Rhoades.
There were guest hula dancers and some show biz folks like Marlene Sai and Brandy Lee in the house. ‘Twas a nice way to start a Merry Christmas around the corner,

And that’s Show Biz…
