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)

HIRE META TECH RECOVERY PRO TO RECOVER YOUR LOST OR STOLEN BITCOIN/ETH/USDT/NFT AND CRYPTOCURRENCY
The exceptional team at META Tech Recovery Pro, whom I now consider family, has my utmost gratitude. It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the outstanding service they provided. I have personally experienced the unfortunate reality that even innocent investors can be defrauded. I made an ill-advised investment, resulting in the loss of USDC and USDT. However, while perusing an online article, I came across a review of Taylor’s experience, which highlighted META Tech Recovery Pro’s success in helping her and her family recover funds lost to a scam. Upon contacting this cybersecurity firm, they successfully aided in the retrieval of my stolen digital USDC assets. I am genuinely impressed by their remarkable service and professionalism. I had not anticipated the possibility of recovering my funds until I presented my situation and all relevant documentation to META Tech Recovery Pro. I was astonished that they recovered my funds within 28 hours. My USDT assets were, without question, successfully recovered from the fraudulent platform. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to you, Sir. I wholeheartedly endorse META Tech Recovery Pro for any requirements related to bitcoin recovery, digital funds recovery, hacking, and cybersecurity.

The Hacker’s Trail — HOW TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY REWROTE MY LOSS BITCOIN INTO A COMEBACK…
I remember that hollow, surreal moment. staring at my wallet for the last time as the balance blinked to zero. Years of careful saving vaporized in one invisible, silent sweep. I felt exposed, naive, and completely outgunned.
That’s when TROJANHACK CYBER SECURITY COMPANY stepped in and everything changed. Their team didn’t promise miracles but guaranteed success based on methods. Over the next few weeks I watched a quiet, brilliant machine of experts peel back the layers of the attack like archaeologists dusting off an ancient ruin. They combined old fashioned persistence with cutting edge cyber-smarts: sophisticated blockchain forensics(transaction-graph analysis using industry-grade platforms such as Chainalysis and Elliptic) to map the money’s footsteps, and targeted memory and endpoint forensics (using tools like Volatility to identify ephemeral wallet artifacts) to recover traces the thieves thought they’d erased.
What made it mesmerizing wasn’t just the tech names it was the choreography. TROJANHACK ’s analysts used wallet-clustering heuristics to link dozens of cold addresses, OSINT investigators threaded public social cues and exchange account registrations into the picture, and their compliance liaisons quietly coordinated freezes with exchanges. When the team identified a cluster tied to a hosted wallet on a regulated exchange, they pushed legal and compliance channels that led to a freeze and after an intensive verification process the partial return of my funds.
It felt like watching a heist movie in reverse: every obscure wallet hop and every coin mixing attempt traced back, step by step, until the trail ended at a single point of leverage.
More than the recovered BITCOIN, what TROJANHACK gave me was confidence that expertise, ethical practice, and legal muscle can still punch holes in the privacy cloak criminals rely on. Their work was forensic artistry: meticulous, lawful, and relentlessly human. If you ever find yourself betrayed by code and cunning, remember two things I learned the hard way protect your keys, and get the right people on your side. TROJANHACK didn’t just recover currency; they restored order to a chaos I thought was permanent.

Sometimes taking risks also leads to delicate results, I was a victim of this incident. I was introduced to this online crypto investment platform about 2months back and I literally had $25,000 in my wallet. Some days back, a scammer lured me to dating her online and then somehow hacked my wallet, then my account got blocked and I couldn’t access my funds for some days. It was a hard time for me knowing that I was scammed of my saving and could not do nothing about it until I came across a very impressive hacker. He goes by Capitalcryptorecovery@gmail.com. Long story short, mynaccou t was hacked and my funds was recovered. He is really talented.
