Audio files

The most comprehensive site for Smith’s audio files is Jeffrey A. Stead’s sister site to this one, containing several MP3 files of Smith’s music.

Discography

We know of only a small number of recordings of Smith’s music in the modern era, although we have many piano rolls dating back to the turn of the last century, when Smith’s music was very popular. We may try to record some of these at a later date, and add these audio recordings to the site.
