In the summer, I would be at the river all day long. As long as I got home before dark, no problem. During the school year, from the time my older brother was about 12 or 13 we would be on our own until around 1700. About a 5 year spread in ages.
Only time there was a problem was when he was 16 and some of the guys in his band would come over. I was 11 or 12, and Joe thought it was funny to sock me in the leg or the arm and give me a Charley horse. I told him not to do it any more and he was sitting in chair and socked me in the thigh. Overhand right to the nose, ruined his shirt and he had two black eyes for a few weeks. Freakin' drummers.
