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.
