<p>Howdy folks:</p><p>Welcome to Michael Perry’s Voice Mail, episode 176. <strong>This one’s available to free and paid subscribers alike</strong>. Click the player above to listen.</p><p><strong>Today I lighten things up </strong>with humorous marginalia courtesy of the late <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/jimharrisonauthor/">Jim Harrison</a> (a friend of the late Jimmy Buffett). Story for another time, but Harrison’s essay collection <em>Just Before Dark</em> played a significant role in my getting a book deal for <em>Population 485</em>. Then I revisit a humorous piece about me and my roughneck brothers in “Cellphone Connection,” an essay from <em>Peaceful Persistence</em> (see images related to this week’s episode below).</p><p>And then as always, I thank you all for giving of your ears, your eyes, and your time. I never take it for granted.</p><p>Thank you,Mike</p><p>P.S.
