Okay, folks. This is a special occasion tonight, and I'd like to have you help me out with something if you would. This is Chad Wackerman's 28th birthday. Do you think that— Do you think I could get you to help me sing "Happy Birthday" to Chad? Right. Ready?


Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Chazzie
Happy birthday to you
(Right!)
(I mean that)
(It's hot)


Now, just to tell you what is going to happen during this part of the show, The Long Island Ballet Company will make a brief appearance during the first number—they've been rehearsing quite a bit for this appearance—they're going to— We're gonna play "Packard Goose" and in the middle of it we're going to insert the "Royal March" from L'Histoire Du Soldat by Stravinsky and so The Long Island Ballet Company will come out and dance to that, and uh, we have to keep the show moving so we won't stop, but just, you know, clap for them when they go off. They'll appreciate it a lot.
