Dan Newton - Accordian Player
After winning the Nebraska State Accordion Contest at the Czech Festival in Wilber in 1987, Dan "Daddy Squeeze" Newton moved to Minnesota and has been wowing Twin Cities music lovers ever since. Equally at home playing Celtic, Tex-Mex, Cajun, blues, jazz, Scandinavian, French musette, polka, and pop, Dan heads up a bunch of different groups, including Jumbo Ya Ya, the Rockin' Pinecones, and the incomparable Cafe Accordion Orchestra. We caught up with Dan to see what he's been up to . . .
What have you been up to this past year without touring and live concerts?
This pandemic year has been rough for everyone, but has had some silver linings. I've taken a lot more walks with Elizabeth (my wife) and added more birds to our life list. When the lakes and parks got too crowded last spring we started walking in cemeteries (a much safer situation for everyone) where I started collecting a list of curious names from headstones. (e.g. Jasper Tarbox, Minnie Suits and Nene Mambo come to mind) I spent a lot of time going through old compositions I had forgotten and eventually recorded an album of solo original instrumentals in my living room. Most of the tunes had their origins in a dream state, hence the title "Out of My Dreams".

Any new Technology challenges you've overcome during the pandemic?
I did my first ever live-stream concert on March 17, 2020, the day after the Shelter-In-Place order started for Minnesota. As of March 17, 2021 I have done 65 concerts with Elizabeth from the comfort of my living room and have been fortunate enough to develop an on-line community that helps us feel less isolated. We continue to perform live streams every Monday at noon, CT, you can watch them live or later at https://www.facebook.com/
Any favorite A Prairie Home Companion memories?
I have a lot of great memories from my days with APHC. It's likely my favorite moments were on the set of the Prairie Home movie with GK, Robert Altman and all the cast and crew. Watching Pop Wagner give rope twirling lessons to John C Reilly and Woody Harrelson was a gas, as was having Kevin Kline ask me if it would be OK if he sat in and sang with my band after rehearsal. (Would it be "OK"!) It was a real treat hanging around with all the PHC musician regulars, waiting for our chance to get on stage and play musicians waiting for a chance to get on stage!
Big plans as we more people get vaccinated and things return to a somewhat normal state?
As Spring approaches I'm looking forward to more walks, bird-watching during the migration, getting vaccinated (fingers crossed) and the return of live music with in-person audiences. I can't wait to start playing again with former PHC regulars Pat Donohue and the Prairie All Stars, including Gary Raynor, Peter Johnson, Richard Kriehn, Joe Savage and (some times!) Richie Dworsky. What a great joy it is to play music with that group!
WATCH Salsipuedes (which they once played on A Prairie Home Companion)
As LIVE performances return, keep up with Dan's activities, either solo or with his many bands, as well as all other activities on his website DaddySqueeze.com.
I Lost Cryptocurrency to a Pig-Butchering Scam — Can Crypto Really Be Recovered?
I was contacted through WhatsApp/Telegram by someone who presented themselves as a professional crypto trader and mentor. Over time, they built trust and introduced me to what appeared to be a legitimate cryptocurrency investment platform.
Initially, the platform showed profits, which made everything seem real. However, when I attempted to withdraw my funds, I was asked to pay additional charges such as withdrawal fees, taxes, or account verification costs. New demands followed each payment.
Eventually, I realized the platform was fake, and the individual disappeared completely. I had sent USDT/BTC/ETH directly from my personal wallet to the addresses they provided, and my funds were gone.
After losing a significant amount of money, I felt devastated and confused. Like many other crypto scam victims, these were the questions that immediately came to my mind:
• Is it possible to trace cryptocurrency sent to scammers?
• Has anyone actually recovered funds lost to a pig-butchering or crypto investment scam?
• Are crypto recovery services or so-called “ethical hackers” legitimate, or are they also scams?
• What steps should victims take immediately after realizing they’ve been scammed to avoid further losses?
These are common questions asked by cryptocurrency scam victims across forums like Quora and Reddit. While researching and trying to understand my options, I eventually came across Infiniti Digital Recovery. Based on my personal experience, they assisted in recovering my stolen cryptocurrency without requesting any upfront payment.
I understand that crypto recovery is a sensitive topic and that many so-called recovery services are scams themselves. My intention in sharing this experience is to contribute to the discussion and help other victims understand what questions to ask, what red flags to watch for, and the importance of extreme caution when seeking recovery assistance.
If you’ve been affected by a cryptocurrency investment scam, take time to research thoroughly, avoid anyone guaranteeing results, and never send additional funds without proper verification
Crypto scams have caused immense harm worldwide, especially among older adults who deserve safety and respect. Contact Infinite Digital Recovery to initiate your recovery process.
