Re: [SurfGuitar101] Organ Sound for Surf Music (Dave 'Baby' Cortez)

Phil Dirt (dirtkfjc) - 08 Oct 2005 23:38:08

Dave "Baby" Cortez (David Cortez Clowney) was from Detroit. He was a
pop and R&B keyboardist. As John Blair already said, Cortez's surf
connection is nada!
Rinky Dink was a common phrase, like Mickey Mouse.

I wonder if Cortez' 1962 hit "Rinky Dink" has any SoCal
surf relevance...wasn't the Rinky Dink a hangout down in
Newport/Balboa? Cortez' tune is probably all about roller
skating and roller rinks...that's where I always heard
it...at the roller rink.
