JONATHAN DUBOSE JR. (THE PROPHESYING GUITARIST)
On January 7, 1974 God blessed me and my husband with a 6lbs. 9oz son we named him Tramaine Duron Dunlap . My father the late Rev Isaiah Pelzer Sr. said look at his big hands he Is going to play the piano like his granddad. The Lord blessed Tramaine during his church up bringing and he was blessed with the gift of playing the guitar at 12yrs old. He would travel with his guitar on the bus many of times and play for different churches and ministries thru out the city of Philadelphia. Tramaine played the drums for Martin Luther King Band with his friend the late Henry Dickerson. God has truly blessed my son in his music ministry. Later on when he was 18 yrs old or so, God blessed him with the gift of playing the organ and the piano. I thank God everyday for a wonderful, spiritually filled son. I pray that God blesses and keep you and your beautiful wife. Continue to trust and believe in God because we can do all things through Christ.
Mom loves you very much and pray you have all the blessings God has in store for you and your family.

Whats up Tramaine this is Zack Flannick, I used to intern for James Elam a couple of months ago. After coming back to Pittsburgh I just got caught up in work. I hope everything is going awesome for you and business is well. I want to let you know that I truly appreciate you for showing me that someone can have a strong faith and enter into an industry that can look sometimes to be Godless. That little bit of inspiration actually is helping me stay focused and wanting to pursue a career in the music field. I know that you think it might not have been much for me to talk to you; however I wouldn't be writing you an email thanking you for that if it didn't leave an impact on me. I hope that you never lose your faith in God and that you continue to make killer music.
