It's a session this afternoon

at Columbia.

Somebody got sick and dropped out.

He thought you'd like the work.

What? What?

- Did he say that I need my guitar?

I think he mentioned a guitar.

Do I need my guitar? Hello?

Hi, I'm here for Mr. Cromartie's

session. Llewyn Davis.

Have a seat.

I'll let him know you're here.
