They're going to have to change the name of the award to the "Mac Award"...
Well-deserved Congratulations, Mac!
A most mysterious calling harbour
So far, but yet, so near
Where I see the day
When my hair's full gray
and I finally...disappear. BUT NOT YET!!

Congratulations!
I do have to ask though, how does he win this award without any air time?
The gerneral public doesn't know his name. What qualifications are needed to win this award?

It's an award voted on by CMA peers and isn't song specific ,
rather it is for a base of the work done during the previous year .
It is also instrument based (Mac is in for his guitar work ).
Here is how voting is done: http://www.cmaworld.com/cma-awards/about
