PIZZA MAKER SINGS OPERA, MAKES SCULPTURES

RICHFORD, Mich. (Wireless Flash) -- A pizzamaker in Richford, Michigan, has found a saucy way to keep his customers happy: he sings them opera. For the past 40 years, Silvio Barile has been "Oh Solo Mioing" his customers as they wait for their pizzas -- but only if the customer "turns him on" and it's not too busy. When Barile IS too busy to sing, customers get to stare at his 60 cement sculptures on display in the restaurant. The statues are dedicated to Italian icons like Frank Sinatra, Julius Caesar and Enrico Caruso -- but his latest project is a statue of Julius Caesar, George Washington and President John F. Kennedy which he calls "On The Wings Of Love." Barile says he has no plans to make a statue of JFK Jr. because John-John didn't do enough for America to warrant inclusion in his saucy sculpture garden.
