There always seem to be a handful of Italian-named artists in black suits and tuxedos playing
at Italian-themed bars across the metro -- Anthony's and the Cigar Box & Bistro downtown, the
Touche in Overland Park, Vivace in the River Market, and the Copa Room in midtown. Names
like Frank Cherrito, Al Latta and Rudy Amato. Sit back and enjoy the kitsch.
