I don't have a lot of experience performing in front of others in general, and this guitar+singing thing is not my thing.

But, I think this is a very appreciative and forgiving audience. I think, one way or another, we'll brighten their day a bit.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. Case in point: Three female friends of mine who jokingly called themselves "The Lemon Sisters" lip-synched some standards for some Iwo Jima veterans at a reunion. The audience went nuts. All the vets could talk about after the "show" was that the "Lennon Sisters" had come to their reunion to sing for them...and, boy, could they sing!

Just have fun.
