Long ago, when I was in sixth grade, I played snare drum in the band. I owned my own drum, so I took it home at night. My window faced an open common yard with the houses across the way. One night, someone (I always imagined a young schoolgirl) started playing the flute portion of the Hogan's Heroes theme out her window across the way. I set up my drum by my own window, and played the military marching drum part of the theme. And together, we serenaded the neighborhood with our impromptu rendition of the theme. Never found out who it was.
