COACHMEN

Douglas, GA

This picture of the band was taken in the mid-sixties.  Jimmy Williams had replaced Bob Weir.  Left to right....  Jimmy Williams,keyboards; Darrell Tucker, guitar; Jim Hall, guitar; Ron Willis, drums; Jimmy Ray Fussell, vocals; and Jack Cribbs sitting (keyboards).

The Coachmen originally formed under the name of the Teen-Beats. This 45 RPM was cut with popular singer David Howell.

This article was written by band member Jack Cribbs about the Coachmen history. The band got back together after a 25 year absence.  The kids had heard talk about the band for years and we wanted them to "live the experience".  It was a great night...

 

The Coachmen performed with the Coffee County High Glee Club in Douglas, GA in the mid-sixties.
