Do you mean---

Ralph Carter Rinzler (1934 - 1994), a folklorist as well as a musician, scholar and advocate of grassroots folk expression in the United States. who was founding director of the Office of Folklife Programs at the Smithsonian Institution. For over thirty years he has helped gain widespread recognition of traditional music of the South-- through his role as Director of Field Research Programs for the Newport Folk Foundation in the mid-1960s and as Founding Director of the Smithsonians annual Festival of American Folklife in 1967. He has worked with bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe and brilliant North Carolina guitarist Doc Watson and been a major force in the revival of Cajun music and culture. He edited influential recordings, including Old Time Music at Clarence Ashleys and Louisiana Cajun Music from the Southwest Prairie.

--In 2000(?), Prof. Henry Glassie(IU) visited BNU and PKU, who worked with Ralph Rinzler from the very first Festival in 1967--

if so, you may try to find who is *Peter* at The Smithsonian Institution Website's the Ralph Rinzler Folklife Archives and Collections.

Oops, I got sth. new---

PETER SEITEL - FOLKLORIST AND WEBMASTER

Peter Seitel joined the Center's permanent staff in 1978, serving as Senior Folklorist, Acting Director, and Director, before assuming the duties of folklorist and Webmaster. Seitel was an Assistant Professor of anthropology at Princeton University. He earned his Ph.D. in folklore and folklife at the University of Pennsylvania, writing a dissertation based on 18 months' fieldwork in northwestern Tanzania on the conversational use of proverbs and logical structures in metaphor. As an outside contractor for the Center, Seitel was responsible for conceptualizing and producing the month-long program on the occupational folklife of transportation workers at bicentennial Folklife Festival. He has written on metaphor, on narrative, and on the concept of genre as a method in interpreting oral literature. He is fluent in Swahili and Basic programming language and can get by in LuHaya (a Bantu language) and HTML.
