Cesar Castaneda revisited

I have been a champion of Cesar Castaneda since the first time I saw him work a bull before an indifferent audience in Tracy, California. He did not care that very few in the crowd understood the art of the matadores. He was there to torear, and he did a good job. I have since seen him on both sides of the border, and realized that the core of a good matador was there. Many people I know think very little of him, and I suspect that it has a lot to do with external factors (he is, after all, Tijuanense). So, I was particularly pleased to read that Gerry Campos has noticed that there is something there.

Gerry is rather astute (as I have known him to be in general). Cesar is, indeed, one of the few matadores who realizes that the California bullfights are at the very least a chance to get paid to practice with livestock before an audience, albeit a fairly indifferent one.
