Dave Cortez had nada to do with surf music. I also don't recall him
recording "Peppermint Man." That song was written for Dick Dale. Apart
from The Trashmen (and the Hot Doggers -- Melcher, Johnston studio project)
who did an instro version of it), I can't think of anyone else who may have
recorded the song at that time.
And, yes, Phil probably had the Rhodes in mind when he said (correctly)
that electric piano was much more common with surf bands in the sixties
than the organ was.

Phil:
so...a Fender Rhodes type electric piano (like Chantays
"Pipeline)...correct?
would Dave "Baby" Cortez (and his Wurlitzer Organ) be
considered proto-surf? Didn't he do "Peppermint Man" on a
Wurlitzer or a Hammond arround 1960 or so?
