The Development of Vietnam Endeavors (D.O.V.E.) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization comprised of Vietnam veterans, Rotarians and concerned citizens that are dedicated to rebuilding Vietnam and improving the lives of those in the most impoverished areas. We are proud to say that 100% of our donations go directly to the construction of schools, scholarships, medical care and disaster relief. Administrative expenses, media and travel costs are borne by the Trustees and members of the D.O.V.E. Fund We are honored to have several Vietnam veterans on our Board. Many of them return to Vietnam each year to experience a remarkable personal journey of hope, peace and understanding.
Singer-songwriter Dan May's career path has taken more twists and turns than a corkscrew in a hurricane. He has worked as a grave-digger, television cameraman, short-order cook, nuclear missile security guard, gas station attendant, ice cream truck driver, delivery man, amusement park worker and greenhouse laborer; all before the age of 25.
While studying music composition in college, he inadvertently stumbled upon an international opera career that forced him to leave a promising future as a songwriter behind. Cut to 15 years later, and after a vocal chord surgery that left him no longer able to meet the demands of opera, Dan returned to doing what he does best; writing and performing his own songs.
Since his crossover from classical to popular music, Dan has hit the ground running. With three critically acclaimed albums already under his belt, his latest release, Dying Breed, has received national acclaim and was named by the Philadelphia Inquirer as one of the Top Ten albums of 2011.
Reviews of Dan's new CD, "Dying Breed" have appeared in newspapers and magazines coast to coast, and here's what they're saying:
PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER: "exceptionally well-crafted and well-written...full of insistently catchy, emotionally substantial songs"
SACRAMENTO BEE: "A master storyteller"
BELLINGHAM (WA) HERALD: "Though he's been in pop music barely five years, the late bloomer has already compiled an impressive body of work."
COLLEGE TIMES, TEMPE (AZ) : " May delivers songs that, for all their literary grace are accessable and unaffected."
FORT WAYNE (IN) JOURNAL GAZETTE: "Dying Breed" displays all the striking qualities that marked May's earlier sets.
PULSE MAGAZINE, CEDAR FALLS (IA) COURIER : "May engages the listeners with numbers tender and loving as well as sly and cutting."
GRAND FORKS (ND) HERALD: "He can pack quite a bluesy punch when he wants to."
CALIFORNIA CHRONICLE: "The only non-original is Springsteen's "Thunder Road" and it speaks to May's exceptional talents that he can make the Boss's monumental anthem seem a part of his own work."
SING OUT! MAGAZINE: "Dying Breed is beautifully assembled. Dan's compassion and empathy make the songs vivid. Very rewarding, warm album."
