...THROUGH A LITTLE THING
Hi,
I would like to know the exact meaning of this expression here:
'But we didn't know this. So he TOOK Philly Joe THROUGH A LITTLE THING, Trane and his girlfriend at the time, Naima Grubbs, before he decided to meet us in Baltimore. Then, when we got there and he arrived, he and Naima got married with all of us standing up there as best men, the whole band, man'
Thanks, Jo.

Hi, It's hard to say without more context. 'Tom took Mary through the accounting information' means that Tom explained the accounting information to Mary patiently and in detail, from beginning to end. So, perhaps the meaning here is that he patiently explained a little thing to Philly Joe.
