    Default Mandolin Cafe Ball Cap

    Just got my new Mandolin Cafe Ball Cap....it came in the mail today.
    As soon as the mailman dropped it off I tore the package open ( Scott - true to his word, also included two Mandolin Cafe stickers) fitted it for size....ya know "One Size Fits All"...then I ran in and opened up that case....and fire shot from my fingers, an.....I gotta slow down...I'm getting delirious..
    You shoulda seen me there just blazin' away. I really believe it has enhanced my playing abilites, and I would highly reccomend "All God's Little Children" purchase a Mandolin Cafe Ball Cap. Ya know it comes with two Mandolin Cafe Stickers...and oh yeah, did I mention "One Size Fits All"?

    Hey! Mine came in today also, but I didn't get to open it. My lovely bride opened it up and proudly placed it on my head. No fire from the fingers, just a feeling of pride in being a mandolin player. It'll get a lot of exposure this weekend and the Fiddle Competition at Landmark Park. I'm sure I'll be the center of attention. (Good thing it's adjustable)
    Thanks to you guys at the 'Cafe' for making these available to us. Maybe the folks at Eastman will take note.

    I received my Cafe ball cap today. The results were instantaneous. Picking speed has more than doubled. Now the problem is one of string over-heating. Is anyone aware of the best way to fit a radiator to a Summit Artist?

    I would like to save on shipping by ordering a cap and a coffee mug at the same time, but the cap does not show up in the Store. So I'd have to do two paypals and pay two shipping. Scott, any ideas?

    The mugs are manufactured by the order at CafePress and shipped directly from there and I'm never involved in the process. The ball caps I have done by a local vendor so I handle those, and storage and shipping are manageable. Unfortunately, the two aren't available for a trip in the same envelope.

    My Cafe ballcap did not make my picking speed any better, but it did help me catch more fish! That is just as important! Good job, Scott.
    Have a Great Day!

    You musn't be wearing it properly. Try wearing it at a more jaunty angle and your right hand will become a blur.

    By the way, in Scotland we tend to use a rod and line rather than headgear for catching fish. Call us old fashioned but it appears to work

    Joe,

    Even better news. I have jsut discovered that my MCBC has the effect of making me irresistible to the opposite sex. I can only say that this purchase has transformed my life. So much for so little. If only I had been able to buy one in my youth. How different life would have been. How lucky the young people of today are being able to avail themselves of such a magnificent product!

    Imagine that - a cap that makes one irresistible to both women and fish. That is truly magical!

    As it happens this is my experience too. I got a walleye not much shorter than my leg, wearing a cafe cap.

    Now when I wear my Orvis to a jam, I do seem to play a little better. Hmmmm.

    Jeff -- how'd the fish get the cap to stay on, what with all that water and whatnot?

    Actually the fish played a fiddle. And you can trust me on that because I am a fisherman.

    I thought there was something fishy about that fiddler ...

    For wintertime, most Canadians prefer a touque. How about that? Wait a minute....do Americans even know what a touque is?

    You mean a toque, yes? Isn't that what French-speaking Canadians do with a jointe?

    Oh no, no, it's what Mike Nesmith of The Monkees always wore on his head, even when swimming.

    Wait - didn't The Monkees make a movie called "Head," more or less about being under the influence while they were under the influence of the same?

    It's all a little hazy for me ...
