All Singing: The Elise Witt Songbook
58 original songs arranged for solo and community singing
“Elise’s provocative songs ask you to think, to act, to enjoy, to fully engage in life. She invites you to stretch not only your voice, but your expectations and assumptions.”
~ Terry Garthwaite, Joy of Cooking, Natural Rhythms, composer, concert artist
"A beautiful and breathtaking songbook in its variety of wonderful songs, its scope of musical styles and subjects, its accessible and lovely artistic design, and its charming stories about each piece, as well as about Elise's remarkable journey through her musical life. Elise's brilliant artistry shines through these pages!"
~ Joanne Hammil, composer, performer, choral director

Once upon a time there was a magical spot in Springville Alabama, that hosted live music and always included the trio of cousins called Something Else. Here they are adding gorgeous harmonies to my song "YOU KNOW." That's Mick Kinney on the piano.

BUTTERFLY'S MYSTERIES was written at Calloway Gardens Butterfly House in Pine Mountain GA on a visit with the residents of Annandale Village. As the artists sat drawing and painting, butterflies landed on their shoulders, hands, noses, and easels. After the art session, we sat outside at the picnic tables and wrote this song, tracing the marvelous life cycle of the Butterfly..
