Did a quick recording of 'Georgia' on two of my mouthpieces and mixed the two takes into one (saves you the hassle to listen to two takes 🙂). For each chorus the first 16 bars are played on a 1950's Otto Link Florida no USA 9 (right channel, starting at 0:00, 1:48 and 3:30). The second 16 bars are played on a 1935-40's Otto Link Four**** 8*, refaced by Jon van Wie (left channel, starting at 0:58, 2:40 and 4:22).
The Florida models have more baffle compared to the older Four**** models, which makes them sound brighter when pushed (you can easily hear the difference). The older Link's have a longer facing curve, making the low notes often more lush (and sometimes even stuffy).
Never played this tune before and had some issues with the bridge and chords at places, but here is my take anyhow (didn't have time for another trial):
- 'Georgia On My Mind' (Florida no USA 9 - Four 8* - La Voz medium):

It's not what my sheet says Ian. The backing has a 4 bar intro then AABA 32 bars, 3 times.
I was listening to the tracks and thought you sounded very much like 'Aker' on Clarinet, plus I prefer the BiaB backing..
