I somehow doubt that anything like this ever happens these days for more than one reason, and if it did, people wouldn't stand for it.
When I was little, one of the neighbors would sometimes sit on his back porch (this was when houses had porches instead of decks) and play a guitar. It was a Hawaiian electric guitar and at least at our house, it could be heard very clearly. I will admit to not remembering the music at all, however, so I guess that whatever it was, memorable it was not. I've never heard anything else like that anywhere else that I've lived. Anyone else have neighbors who frequently play music outside like that?
Another neighbor and his wife were country and western entertainers and even had a half-hour television show broadcast live from the local TV station in the next town all of ten miles away. But they never practiced outside. Their son was in my first grade class in school.
One of my step-sisters, who lives back in the hills claims that there are still people with a guitar or a fiddle behind the door who will get it out and play a tune at the slightest encouragement but I've never been present when such things happened. I think I have missed something, too.
