There is actually a large Middle Eastern and Armenian presence in SE Michigan. When I was growing up one of the local independent black gospel TV stations used to sell air time to musicians playing "Middle Eastern" music. So I was able to hear music like this. The fellow playing the electric oud who looks a bit like G. Gordon Liddy is Joe Zeytoonian, who is something of a superstar within his world.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
