Have a 6-pack with David Joel

David Joel says Texas country music is best presented live and he’s getting ready for some of that. He’s just signed with Bou Boy’z Entertainment and will play a “6-pack” sampling from “Steamy Windows.”

The party will be at 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Capri Club, 8585 Ninth Ave., Port Arthur.

Rocking Texas country is Joel’s sound. He’s a singer and guitar player who says he gives a high-energy show.

“I want them to be excited. There’s a lot of excitement in my show. Every song,” he said. “Dynamics is the thing in my show. We try to lift as high as we possibly can. Full of energy. Then, we may go do just me and my guitar after that song.”

He started playing at 9, after his Dad gave him a guitar. His mom sang in church.  Now, he’s a lot about the audience.

“I make it a point to go around and shake everybody’s hand. It genuinely means the world to me that they come out. I enjoy the people I’ve met in music. It has opened so many doors. You’ve got to have a talent,” Joel said.

Bou Boy’z Entertainment has signed Joel. Jordan Boudreaux and his father, Randy, run the company. Randy Boudreaux has written more than 70 produced songs, including “Brokenheartsville” by Joe Nichols, “Goodnight Sweetheart” by David Kersh and “Alibis” by Tracy Lawrence.

The signing party cover is $10. For information, go to

Can you be a zero waster?

Is it now hip to dig trash out of the can? How about if it helps save the earth?

I read about families who recycle so much, or simply don’t buy what they can’t recycle, that their household waste fits into something the size of a shoe box at the end of the year. If I can’t go that route, I can at least be better aware of my choices and bring my own cup when I can.

The book is In The Zero-Waste Lifestyle by Amy Korst and I checked it out for an e-reader through the Beaumont Public Library. We all know it is better to keep stuff out of the landfills, but now I have a better grasp on why. She writes that the big, dirty problem is that the average American tosses out nearly 2,000 pounds of garbage every year that piles up  and does not decay, and mixes with toxins and threatens our air and water quality. Maybe you are not ready to take your own container to a store when you buy meat and cheese so as to avoid packaging. Maybe you won’t simply stop buying some products and make your own more earth friendly version. I learned I can compost paper napkins and more boxes than I thought. You can compost your Port Arthur News after you read my column.

I found her mindset very encouraging. I commend her family for leaving extra room in their suitcases so they can bring home their used paper products from restaurants for recycling. I wonder how that works if you are coming home from Europe and customs finds all your garbage tucked into  your bags.
