How to make a cat and his human happy. A big box from San Fransisco arrived yesterday. Sender: Dave Smith Instruments. Hallelujah! Dave Smith Instruments is an American company based in San Francisco, California which manufactures electronic musical instruments. Inside this box: the OB-6 Desktop, a 6-Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer. The OB-6 is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between the two most influential designers in poly synth history, Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim. The OB-6 sound engine is inspired by Tom Oberheim’s original SEM, the core of his acclaimed 4-voice and 8- voice synthesizers.
This is an example of an activity we both enjoy, making music and a studio technician living in a box. Our aim, as I told you before is to rock you, some day soon.
Enjoy this beautiful day, my friends, wherever you are. Peace, love and understanding.
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
Tho you are speaking a language I don’t understand, the synthesizer looks complicated enough to make you happy and it’s a very attractive box for the studio technician to explore/live in. Seems that it’s all good there in your world, cool. Peace, man, and rock on!
Thank you so much, my dear friend! Don’t worry about the language, it’s all about the music…
Taking a break from a studio session right now. And it seems the studio technician fell asleep right under the new synth! It’s a cold and rainy afternoon, so what else can he do?
Don’t let that guy fool ya…he’s not sleeping: he’s planning new music ideas, just having his eyes closed! He’s been studying that synthesizer. Have a good one, dear friend yourself.
Thank you! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
What a nice box you ordered, Mr. Bowie. And how kind of you to think of a little something for your sidekick 😉 =^.^=
Thank goodness Mr. Bowie knows how to pick the right boxes… Some guys have all the luck! 🙂
What would cats do if there were no boxes? What would humans do without rock music? I hate to think there could ever be such a sad existence. Rock on, Herman. Box on, Mr. Bowie!
Thank you, Mary J! I think I need to write a ‘harder’ rock song because Mr. Bowie just fell asleep while I was working on a new song…
LOL! Sounds like a plan, Herman. Maybe your own loud version of “Thunderstruck” would do the trick. 😉
Haha… Let me give this a try…!! 🙂
Our fat yellow cat Mystery envies Mr Bowie’s box. Mystery sits in them exactly the same way.
It is always so funny how cats react when they see a box. They never get bored or tired from exploring boxes…
Mystery cannot wait to have the box emptied before jumping in! Oh to be so easily delighted!
I just love it to see cats waiting to get in a box…
hahaha It’s great you can both be made happy by one delivery! Mr Bowie looks so comfy in his new box! 🙂
It must be a very comfortable box because Mr. Bowie fell asleep after a few minutes…
Aw sweet! 🙂
What is it with kitties and boxes? Luv the pics, have fun with the new OB-6!
Thank you so much, my friend!
Have a marvellous day!
Nice equipment and you get a cool box 🙂
Thank you, my friend. We are both very lucky guys… a new box and a new synth!
Nice OB-6 and great box for Mr. Bowie! Looking forward to hearing your work, Herman! Cats and crew here send their best to you and Mr. Bowie. Enjoy some dark chocolate, espresso and cat treats today!
Hi Lavinia! Oh no…!! I forgot about the dark chocolate… How is that possible? Guess we were too busy with the music and the box…!!
Mr. Bowie sends his regards to the crew out there! Hope you’re all having a wonderful Sunday…
Hope you both have fun with the package! 🙂
Hi Laura! Oh yes, no problems for the moment in this household…
Oh good to know!
Happy days are here again. That looks like so very cool synth and a new box for Mr. Bowie.
Guess you can imagine we had (and still having) a great weekend…
I imagine.
Hope you and Laurie are having a marvellous Sunday too, my friend…
I just made Laurie a chocolate, amaretto, espresso cake for her birthday, while listening to rock and roll really loud. We are having a wonderful day.
Did you mention ‘chocolate’…?? 😉
Sounds like you’re having a wonderful day indeed. Please wish Laurie a very Happy Birthday from me and Mr. Bowie!
Music maestro please!!!!!
Hoe jammer dat Mr. Bowie niet kan zingen! Klagen wel ja, als hij zijn avond-snoepjes niet op tijd krijgt… 😉
A perfectly sized box.
And a perfectly sized (and sounding) synth for the human too…
Well now, your lab looks like a mad science experiment and Mr Bowie is the mastermind! I’m excited to hear what transpires friends.
Hi there Boomdee! Glad to see you’re in a comfy spot and anxiously waiting to hear our music…
Count Sammy and me in the brigade of those waiting for the day a “Hermanized” song will rock us out of our chairs…..that new synth will help no doubt…..and with all the rest your studio tech is getting in that box – he should be ready for anything even if it’s extra loud! I shall think of you and Mr. Bowie as I dip my freshly baked (this afternoon) dark chocolate biscotti in my espresso……….now if I just had some GOOD MUSIC to listen to?????????????????
Pam (and Sam)
Hi Pam! ‘Dark chocolate biscotti and espresso’… I believe those are the magic words to stop working and have a short (chocolate) break. Too late in the evening for coffee though…
Mom says to tell you that you already rock us! We think Mr. Bowie looks so awesome in the new box. We’re really happy you bought something new so he could have a new box!
Hi there, my friends! Thank you so much for your kind words. Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
You want to know a little secret? I’m only buying new stuff for the boxes…!!
I’m glad you are both happy.
Thank you, Charles. Sometimes life can be wonderful…
Cats like to be in a box, but definately thinking out of the box.
So true, Cornelia! Love your comment…
Hmmm …. not really into all that tech stuff, but Mr Bowie looks very cute in the box anyway!
Well, Jill, don’t worry about that tech stuff, in the end it’s all about the box…!!
You have the best studio technician ever!
Hi Claudia! Oh yes, thank goodness he likes to buy new boxes occasionally…
My cats Andy and Dougy love to be at the door when something in a box is delivered. When it contains something for them, they still prefer the box. Anyway, they say to tell Herman “Meow!” because that is one impressive box you got from America! They want one, too.
To Mr. Bowie, rather. To Herman they say, “Meow!” Oh well, they haven’t a lot to say.
Hi Dough! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!” Oh yes, one more thing… he told me he’s keeping the box for himself…
Cats and boxes, such a classic and funny story!
Yes, I have grown used to tossing boxes into the trash when the kitty boys aren’t looking because doing it while they watch means I have to suffer those big Bambi eyes or total disbelief and suffering. They don’t make it easy, I tell you, and I have one box in my living room that I dearly want to trash out that’s been a favorite of Dougy’s for over two years. Gad. Andy has a new favorite that’s in the kitchen, often in the way. I know he won’t “allow” me to toss that one for some time, either.
I can picture the scene… It is the same story overhere. I always have to be very careful when removing an old box!
Looking forward to being rocked! And that is one very happy handsome cat!
Thank you, Julie! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
I can clearly hear your excitement, but I hope you agree with me that without that gorgeous box the synthesizer isn’t worth that much 😉
No problemo, Inese. I fully agree! 😉
We’re all ready for it, Mr Bowie 😀 Pawkisses for a rocking Day 🙂 ❤
Thank you, my friend! Mr. Bowie says “Meow!”
