Trees + music + Johnnie Mac
Combine the environment, the music industry and a friend of mine, John McCarthy or Johnnie Mac and I think this is a fascinating story.
John is horticulturalist who has been involved in the development of the native foods industry since 1985. Many within the industry consider him a ‘pioneer’, particularly through his work on the propagation and cultivation of native food and medicinal species. When he worked as chief propagator at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney, Johnnie worked closely with aboriginal communities throughout Australia and is committed to fostering strong ties between cultures using land management and horticulture. At present, Johnnie is Director at the Mt Burrell Cultural Gardens, also known as Ganngjalah – Place of Learning, an environmental and educational charity that brings indigenous and non-indigenous cultures together to learn about the values of Australian flora, fauna and ecology.
However Johnnie is also a rock musician, and is about to release his first solo CD entitled ‘The World Seems Happy’ – which is another important aspect of his life that reflects his environmental work. Unlike the many famous musicians who simply talk about how we should all do something to change the world for the better -Johnnie has not only done the dirty work himself by planting thousands of trees and educating just as many people about the environment, he is offering a massive 25% of proceeds from his album sales to the environment.
Today, Thursday, he is making the big jump from busker and pub musician to the world of CD marketing and getting a hit CD. All his friends have promised to help and I am asking you to help also.
Johnnie is not just any rock musso – he is GOOD and I really enjoy his music, especially when I am with other friends with a glass in hand I will confess.
So now we learn the mysteries of getting a hit! What happens is that as many people as possible buy the CD ON THE SAME DAY then the numbers skyrocket and a Hit is Born. Bizarre but true. The CD will cost you $20, remember 25% of the proceeds to Ganngjalah and because lots of leading business and personal development experts have donated downloadable gift you will get a value of over $5,000. I donated a digital version of my book “Reduce your Carbon Footprint”
Simply click this link early Thursday and buy your CD and you will get the download and your CD.
