Mary Ellen Donald has been involved in Middle Eastern music as a dance student and a musician since the late 1960s.  She is known by many as the Guru of finger cymbal playing.  Mary Ellen studied dance with Jamila Salimpour, drum and tambourine with Vince Delgado, Tony Lammam, and various Arab drummers.  She has written, produced and published several books and tapes on Middle Eastern music.  Since the 1970s she has performed in numerous concerts, on albums including Magda Helmy, Gallal Kutub, Yusel Mostafa, and Light Rain, and on the soundtrack ABC-TV series, the Young Indiana Jones.  Mary Ellen continues to be in high demand as a musician, teacher, and organizer of events.   Her youthful vitality and highly developed sensitivity to music may be partially attributed to her being legally blind.Excerpt from The Caravan, Vol. 13, #6, May/June 1997
