Craig had such a great year this year...

He even took home the ASCAP Song of the Year award for his song, "Live Like You Were Dyin" which Tim McGraw made popular.

He wrapped up the whole show tonight with a wonderful rendition of this heartfelt song, with Tony Mullins (and the entire audience) clapping and singing along.

One thing that I think is HILARIOUS... Whenever we're at these songwriter nights, only a handful of people usually bring cameras. And whenever a singer breaks into a wildly popular hit song, they feel the need to snap TONS of pictures at that very moment -- as if him singing that song will be obvious from the photograph!
