Boy oh boy, there are layers and layers of explanations needed for this song...

I play in a couple bands here in Nashville. In one of them, The Red Wine Effect, I have somehow been given the name "Cupcake." Okay. I think it's funny, so that's what they call me when I play in that group.

Another band I play in backs up Jenny Casey, a Nashville artist with whom I've written and recorded several songs. She has a very cool tune called "Woman," about what it is to be a woman and a mom and a wife and all that stuff. You can hear it here, performed live with Jenny and guest backup vocalists Kathy Redwine and Hollie Brogunier of The Red Wine Effect.

One day I thought it would be cute to change the words to "Woman," a really great song you've probably never heard before today, to make it "Cupcake." And that is what we have here.

I have no explanation for my Elmer Fudd voice on this, except to say that it's in a very low key for me, so Elmer just sort of popped out. That being said, however... if this song is popular with all you crazy folks, I may unveil a parody of a Red Wine Effect song, entitled Speech Therapy.

There you have it. Tom, the orifice is now closed.
