The following is from Mario Nunez, woodworker, teacher, drummer in Buffalo NY:

That differentiation between a liberal education and a vocational one is so artificial. So sad. Maybe I was exceptionally lucky to have been around people who did both, like my uncle who was a surgeon and a woodworker and built the stone retaining walls at his house. And it dawned on me not long ago that people ask me "how" I do all those different things like woodwork and playing music. But nobody has ever asked me why, which I think is a much more important question.
