The Time Machine heads way back to 1960 this time; the year Elvis Presley is discharged from the service, and he didn't miss a beat. Etta James issued her At Last! album. The Ventures kick-started the surf rock craze. If you were on the dance floor, you were probably doing The Twist. Dean Martin was still swinging. John F. Kennedy became president. It's all 1960, our year on this episode of Time Machine Tuesday.
