As of today, my 2008 album “Smackdown” is available from CDBaby, either as a CD or as MP3 downloads. I’m working on the next album, but it’s still a few months away. I’m hoping to have it available by December 4, the date of my next retreat at Pilgrim Park.
The album cover for Smackdown shows a mosaic from the Soumela monastery in Turkey. This depicts a famous incident in the history of the church: at the first Council of Nicea in 325, the presbyter Arius was excommunicated, and exiled, and also smacked—by Bishop Nicholas, later a saint of the church. I guess Arius was naughty rather than nice.
