We know that Alan Ball and the amazing Gary Calamar put great effort into musically curating True Blood !
I think this will be the flashback to Bill and Lorena's life in the 20's .

Episode 2.06 title has changed from Friend is a Four Letter Word to
"Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp of Savannah)" which was a popular song from Tin Pan Alley.
The music was written by Milton Ager, the lyrics by Jack Yellen, Bob Bigelow, and Charles Bates. The song was published in 1924 by Ager, Yellen & Bornstein, Inc.
Hard Hearted Hannah tells in humorous fashion the story of a "vamp" or femme fatale from Savannah, Georgia "the meanest gal in town." Hannah is "a gal who loves to see men suffer."
It had early recordings by vocalists Lucille Hegamin and Dolly Kay , and by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra . A quarter century later Peggy Lee revived "Hannah" very successfully for Capitol Records, and the Ray Charles Singers made a hit version for Decca. The song has been recorded numerous times by such performers as Patti Austin, The Bronson Singers, Jim Croce, Bobby Darin, Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards, Ella Fitzgerald, Joyce Moody, Turk Murphy, Nancy Sinatra, Kay Starr, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Toni Tennille, Sophie Tucker, and Margaret Whiting. [6] Memorable television performances of the song include those by Carol Burnett, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, and Beatrice Arthur.

I think this might be the Belle Baker recorded 8/28/1924.



But goodness it's Ella (Is that Joe Friday from Dragnet, what's he doing in that movie ? ;))



The amazing Boadicea thinks that we may see Bill Compton /Stephen Moyer play this on the piano in the flashback
