A Cazimero Christmas

Lehua Kalima Heine greeted Robert, left, and Roland Cazimero as they signed autographs after their concert at the Hawaii Theatre on Friday. It was the second of three sold-out nights for the duo, and a delightful celebration of the magic and wonder of Christmas. Robert presided as host with his usual charm and dry wit while Roland provided tart bits of unpredictable comic commentary. Their imaginative arrangements of "White Christmas" and "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" were surprise highlights. CLICK FOR LARGE
