Songwriters bus damaged in Ireland accident
Thursday, February 23, 2012 – A bus carrying three artists touring Ireland and the United Kingdom as part of the CMA Songwriter Series was involved in an accident Thursday although no one was hurt.
A passenger car collided with the rear end of a Gibson
Bus carrying performers Whisperin' Bill Anderson, Bob DiPiero and Clint Black.
The entertainers were on their way to do a live concert at Whelan's in Dublin when the accident occurred. None of the performers or crew members were injured and bus damage was minor. However, it did cause a 30-minute delay in the show's start time.
Anderson said, "This accident happened when we were all on a Gibson Bus, but it turned out to only be a fender-bender - thank goodness." Both Gibson and Fender are guitar manufacturers.

Some folks listening to Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison's new duet album, "Cheaters Game," may well exclaim, 'Well, it's about time!' after finally hearing these two talented country singer/songwriters recording music as a pair for the first time.
