We would set our radio station to either Y100 or KJ97 country music. Every weekend like clock work Travis Tritt’s song “Great Day to be Alive” would be playing on our car radio!!!! This song was new in the 90’s our daughter was born in 1998. She’s in her early twenties and will be graduating 2021 from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio Tx. with a major? and a minor in? ”She will continue to further her education in San Antonio of the college of her choice. She enjoys listening to Panic of the Disco, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, etc. Our daughter still listens to Travis Tritt’s “Great Day to be Alive” we play our cd and still listen to classic country.
