Were there push-button phones in 1968 that already made "rotary" a necessary adjective? Or is this about the connections one makes in the eponymous club?

On November 18, 1963, the first electronic push-button system with touch-tone dialing was commercially offered by Bell Telephone to customers in the Pittsburgh area towns of Carnegie and Greensburg, Pennsylvania, after the DTMF system had been tested for several years in multiple locations, including Greensburg.

Well, I've never heard the last one. The other ones are basically variations of the same show: Jack Webb as a smartass hardboiled private/amateur dick, helping the downtrodden little guy. In Pete Kelly's Blues, he also plays a trumpet. Jack Webb was a jazz fan.
