Thanks John,
I was busy typing a response and thought I better see if you had
replied. Dave Cortez was not even an early influence in any meaningful
way. Everything without words is not surf or a surf precursor. Organ
inn general was not part of the precursors either, except for Johnny
and the Hurricanes, and then mostly because of Dave Yorko's great
guitar work.
Yes, I was thinking of the Rhodes.

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?
