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)

Hi there, I’m writing to describe a severe instance in which my Bitcoin was taken illegally out of my wallet. This illegal transaction, which was carried out without my knowledge or approval, strongly implied that I was the victim of a sophisticated phishing or hacking attempt. Quick action was required since money had to be transferred right away to an anonymous digital address. I promptly hired renowned cybersecurity company WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY to look into and retrieve my stolen Bitcoin. Through careful analysis, WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY was able to identify the precise time and IP address of the illicit transfer’s origin. Amazingly, my Bitcoin was back in my digital wallet within hours of their intervention. In addition to the successful recovery, WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY greatly strengthened my home and online security. This involved installing state of the art anti-malware software, offering thorough cybersecurity training, and putting strong multi-factor authentication into place across all of my accounts.

Allow me to recount my experience. I will endeavor to be brief, even though my situation was all before my interaction with DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT. Life has presented numerous obstacles, yet I have consistently overcome them independently. I have always held the belief that foår a task to be executed flawlessly, one must undertake it personally, or so I believed, until I encountered a sophisticated crypto fraud operation. I was enticed to invest my hard-earned capital in what initially appeared to be a transformative opportunity, but it was deceptive. I believed I was generating income, but the opposite was true; I was funneling my resources to these fraudsters, who then utilized them to deceive others. I became aware of this after enlisting the services of a cybersecurity specialist to validate the authenticity of this group. I was unsurprised when DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT provided their forensic findings regarding this Telegram-based crypto investment group, as I had observed the indicators: they only permitted deposits and never withdrawals, despite claiming I was accruing profits. Indeed, DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT spared me from significant financial distress by successfully recovering my lost crypto funds and investment, as I had remitted no less than one million Canadian dollars to this investment group. I am composing this favorable testimonial for DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT because numerous individuals have been, are currently, and are on the verge of becoming victims of this crypto mining and trading fraud that is pervasive online. I strongly advise you to contact DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT for further details regarding their credibility or to recover your lost crypto assets.
