In the debut episode of Govs on the Go: The Legacy Series, Dean Hoon sits down with Dr. Solie Fott, who dedicated over four decades to Austin Peay State University. From his pivotal role as the founding president of the Faculty Senate to chairing the Department of Music for 20 years, Dr. Fott’s contributions to APSU are profound. Arriving in Clarksville in 1958 for what was supposed to be a one-year teaching position, his tenure evolved into a lasting legacy. Beyond the classroom, Dr. Fott played on over 2,000 recording sessions for legendary artists like Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley.
