This was my first post. I posted it on March 24th, 2013. Today is March 24th, 2023. It's hard to believe that I started this Tumblr 10 years ago today. I was a college freshman fangirling over famous conductors, and now I am a grownup still fangirling. Do grownups even use Tumblr now? Anyway, happy 10th anniversary if anyone is still paying attention to this. I have always had fun making silly gifs and finding the most amazing photos. Here are some good ones. Looking forward to sharing many more!
