Summary/Abstract: Bulgarian ethnology pays special attention to the characterization of the communities and personalities, which are its object of description and research. To a much lesser extent has been studied the problem about the socio-cultural origin and status of the recorder of field information, being one of the most unexplored territories in the theory and practice of the field ethnological research. The present article presents an attempt to fill in this void in two ways. First, by an autobiographical description of a part of the city background, in which the author formed as a personality between 1960 and 1970. Second, by the memoires for his first folklore expedition with the Workshop for Bulgarian folklore in Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, which happened in 1981.
