Kristine: FOR NEARLY THREE
DECADES, THE BROTHERS CAZIMERO
HELD THEIR ANNUAL MAY DAY
CONCERT AT WAIKIKI SHELL.
IT CAME TO AN END BUT ROBERT
CAZIMERO DECIDED TO DO ONE LAST
MAY DAY CONCERT.
JOINING US TO TALK MORE ABOUT IT
AND TO PERFORM IS THE ONE AND
ONLY ROBERT CAZIMERO.
GOOD MORNING.
Kristine: WELCOME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE.
NICE TO BE HERE THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU.
Kristine: SO IT'S BEEN A
LONG TIME.
IT HAS BEEN.
ALMOST AT LEAST TEN YEARS SINCE
THE LAST ONE WE DID.
Kristine: HOW DID THE
DECISION COME ABOUT?
I HAD BEEN TO A CONCERT LAST
YEAR AT CHRISTMASTIME.
A REUNION CONCERT FOR ANOTHER
GROUP OF HAWAIIAN MUSICIANS.
I THOUGHT FOR YEARS I FOUGHT IT.
I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THE BROTHERS
CAZIMERO MANY.
I WAS LAZY.
AND WITH THE LOSS OF ALL THESE
OTHER PEOPLE AND BEING AT THAT
CONCERT AND MY REACTION TO HOW
BEAUTIFUL IT WAS TO SEE, IT WAS
A GREAT DECISION-MAKER FOR THIS
CONCERT.
Kristine: AND YOUR BROTHER,
ROLAND PASSED AWAY.
LOUISIANA YEAR -- LAST YEAR IN JULY, AND
PETER MOON AS WELL.
AND A LOT OF GOOD FRIENDS.
THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR
ME.
A LAST HURRAH.
WITH THE WAY THINGS CHANGE IN
HAWAI'I DAILY, IT'S A NEWS
OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK BACK AND TO
REALIZE THAT WE CAN STILL BE
PART OF IT TODAY.
Kristine: YOU PERFORMED
TOGETHER FOR SO LONG.
YEAH.
FROM THE TIME WE WERE BORN
PRACTICALLY.
TO MISS HIM AND AT THE SAME
TIME, CARRY ON.
Kristine: YOU'RE HONORING
HIM.
HOW HAS IT BEEN PERFORMING LIKE
THIS WITHOUT YOUR RIGHT-HAND
MAN?
I GOT TO SAY IT'S BEEN REALLY
GOOD.
ROLAND WAS THE ONE WHO TOUT ME --
TAUGHT ME HOW TO DO IT HIMSELF.
HIMSELF -- 34678.
I MISS HEARING THE SOUND
TOGETHER.
I'M PRETTY FORTUNATE AND I'M
LUCKY TO BE HERE.
Kristine: YOU'RE FOR NATE
AND LUCKY TO HAVE YOU.
SO ON TUESDAY, IT RETURNS TO THE
BISHOP MUSICIAN.
TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY CAN
EXPECT.
I HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF
FRIENDS.
IT'S A FULL TWO TWO-HOUR SHOW WITH
DANCE AND MUSIC AND REKINDLING
THE MEMORIES AND OPPORTUNITY TO
MAKE NEW MEMORIES.
Kristine: AND SPEAKING OF
THE NEXT GENERATION, THOSE WHO
WATCHING, ONE DAY FOLLOW IN YOUR
FOOTSTEPS.
I'M HAPPY TO SAY HAWAIIAN
MUSIC IS DOING WELL.
THERE ARE LOTS OF GREAT GROUPS.
IF THAT IS YOUR PASSION, YOU
NEED TO SIT DOWN AND DECIDE WHAT
HAWAIIAN MUSIC IS FOR YOU.
THESE DAYS THERE'S SO MANY
DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
AND WHATEVER IT IS, FIND THAT
PASSION AND GO FOR IT.
Kristine: FOLLOW IT.
ALL THE WAY.
MAYBE, MAYBE ONE DAY YOU COULD
COME CLOSE TO BEING A LEGEND.
WE WERE LUCKY.
Kristine: LET'S TELL THEM
WHAT THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
TUESDAY, MAY DAY ON THE GREAT
LAWN.
MAY 1S, TUESDAY, AT THE BISHOP
MU SEEING.
DOORS OPEN AT 4:30.
COST OF TICKETS ARE $25 ON THE
GREAT LAWN.
HERE WITH THE PREVIEW IS THE
ONE, THE ONLY, ROBERT CAZIMERO.
