Because of Maxwell’s tweets I’ve taken the time to listen to artists whose CD’s I normally would have ignored. And I’ve been encouraged to listen to more music now than I have in years.

Maxwell’s also a man of quiet humility, character and conviction. In an interview, I remember he said something to the effect that he never realized he had it in himself to become so involved in the work of helping others. He also said he hopes in the years to come that he would be able to do more. It’s rather nice to read his inspirational tweets about life, love and music, about giving to the Red Cross, Haitian earthquake charities, Yele, etc.

During his European concert tour he even tweeted short travel videos. It was like he was taking us along on his excellent adventure. Since I love to travel, those tweets were candy to my eyes.

It’s an tired, old cliche but Maxwell is a force of nature. He’s such a breath of fresh air in the music industry. I wish him continued success – and keep those tweets coming!
