was started by Herbie Hancock (one of my favorite jazz musicians) through the U.N. in 2011. It culminates The Smithsonian Institution's Jazz Appreciation Month even though the two aren't officially linked.

Actually neither I nor auto recognized it. Auto correct was focused only on single words and I was quite worn out from several days of my neighbor's poisons.

Yes I know that, but the typo was funny, probably due to auto correct

It's technically the IDES OF MARCH..
From Wikipedia
The Ides of March (aɪdz; Latin: Idus Martiae, Medieval Latin: Idus Martii)[1] is the day on the Roman calendar marked as the Idus, roughly the midpoint of a month, of Martius, corresponding to 15 March on the Gregorian calendar. It was marked by several major religious observances. In 44 BC, it became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar, which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history.

In Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" from 1599 a fortune teller warns "Beware the idea of March".
Many years later, in 1957, the residents of Hinckley, Ohio began celebrating the annual return of buzzards on "Buzzard Day".
In 1974 radio station WMMS 100.7 FM changed its mushroom logo
to the buzzard
This was not, however related to Hinckley's "Buzzard Day" at the time.
The Buzzard ruled the waves when I was an adolescent.
