Tonka Records was owned by a gentleman called Gabe Tucker who was experienced in all aspects of country music as he had been a bandleader, trumpet player, singer, comic, manager, disc jockey & record label operator. Gabe Tucker had also been involved with legendary artists Elvis Presley & Eddy Arnold

As far as Bubba, I found a corporation founded in Houston in 1991 by EE Van Deman called Bubba Vandeman. The corporation no longer active. I'd bet there's a tie in.
