Back from the birthday bash and concert - the latter went very well. I asked the host to simply introduce me at the start and he said he also had just a couple of things to say - I knew that was a disaster in the making and it was - nice guy that he is, public speaking and keeping it short is not something he knows how to do - fifteen minutes later he finally announced me. The show itself ran very smoothly and my show order really worked. Ultimately, I would have cut two numbers and it would have been better, but, you know, this isn't a professional thing.
