I was quietly remembering Jim on his birthday, January 3, when I discovered the date is shared by Fruitcake Toss Day. He would have liked that, probably going out and buying one on clearance just to toss.
Apparently this holiday was first created and celebrated in Manitou Springs, Colorado in 1995. It involves taking all the left over fruitcake - often given as presents - and chucking it.
I know, I'm supposed to be writing about music. But it was too tempting to write about Jim having to share his birthday with fruitcake. I'm sure he would have been impressed.
And if you suddenly find yourself wanting a fruitcake, follow these instructions on Youtube.
