T. Bubba started out as James Terryl Bechtol, a baby boomer raised in the tiny fishing village of Fontainbleau in the heart of Mississippi's Cajun country. His grandfather, a circuit-riding Southern Baptist minister, exposed Bechtol to oral tradition. At 12, Bechtol was preaching himself at tent revivals up and down the Gulf Coast. "I broke away from that once I got to high school and discovered Jack Daniels and cheerleaders," he says. In the '80s, Bechtol moved to Washington D.C. to join the Ronald Reagan camp as a fundraising director. He worked for two years in the Reagan White House and then ran for Congress himself, in his home district in Pensacola, Florida. Today he continues to be involved in national political races and serves often as a source of humor on national radio and T.V. when he poll's his organization, "The Bubba's of America" for their opinions on any subject that is current in the news. On the speaking circuit Bechtol developed a friendship with another humorist, syndicated columnist the late Lewis Grizzard. Taken with Bechtol's bluntly-transparent view of life, Grizzard began writing about "Bubba" in his books and columns in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Lewis Grizzard and his manager were directly responsible for "T. Bubba's" entry into the entertainment field.
