Jeffrey is available as
a lecturer and demonstrater on the subject of early sound
recordings at events, schools, and libraries.
An avid collector of early sound recordings,
Jeffrey has searched for talking machines, cylinders, early
discs and novelty recordings that he now uses for his recreations
of music halls and vaudeville, as well as for his own enlightenment
and entertainment.
For the Centennial of the Great '06 San
Francisco Earthquake and Fire, Jeffrey was interviewed
on NPR about a 2-minute black wax recording he
owns of Len Spencer and Prince's Band's recreation
of "The Destruction of San Francisco", released
in October of 1906 (6 months after the quake).
Jeffrey is the proud owner of an 1896 recording
of Billy Golden's "Rabbit Hash" on a seven
inch E. Berliner disc that has a political "rap"
between verses.
