Kenny Bishop Honored by the Kentucky State Senate
FRANKFORT, KY— Kenny Bishop was recently honored and
recognized by the Kentucky State Senate for his contribution
to the performing arts in the state. Bishop received a citation
of recognition that was sponsored on the motion of senators
Alice Forgy Kerr and Tom Jensen. The document cited Bishops
recent Grammy nomination and two Dove Award nominations, as
well as his latest self-titled release on Daywind Records.
The
Kentucky House of Representatives honored Bishop with a similar
recognition back in January.
"I
have several friends who serve in Kentucky's upper and lower
legislative chambers," Bishop said. "They often
express their appreciation and congratulations to me personally,
and I am grateful. But to be recognized officially, and to
have the certificate presented on the floor of the senate
chamber is a special honor indeed. I am very moved and honored."
Bishop
also opened the morning session of the state senate by singing
the Lord's Prayer for the invocation.
