After Milton Brown's death, his Musical Brownies did not remain vital very long. Ocie Stockard rose from the ashes and formed his own band. Members included Wanna Coffman on bass, Joe Holley (formerly of the Crystal Springs Ramblers) on fiddle, Jack Hinson (formerly of the Ross Rhythm Rascals) on piano and Cecil Mullins on guitar. Milton's brother, Durwood Brown, also logged some time with this band. Stockard left to join Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys in 1946.
