I don't imagine they're very common.

Although, for every year except leap years, the days in March always are the same as the days in February, since Feb has 28 days. So any time there's a Friday the 13th in February, there will usually be a Friday the 13th in March too.

Time to play Monk's "Friday the 13th"!

I was about to say that too. I have good memories involving it. I was playing in a quartet in Jo'burg, and the first time we did it, I told the audience the story of the tune and the Monk session. We used to get requests for it after that. The pianist, an English guy called Stan Jones, was superb. He toured the U.S. alongside Monk for 6 months and could do all the Monk voicings and comping. What a treat it was to be able to play Monk songs with a guy like that!. Based on that, I'm sure I could have fit in with Monk himself. Stan's wife recalled sitting on Rouse's knee, hee hee.
