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)

Stolen Crypto? How to Recover Lost Bitcoin Online: My Experience with Decentralized Codex Security
I never believed the stories of recovered cryptocurrency. Like most, I thought that once Bitcoin was sent to the wrong address or stolen, it was gone forever—a permanent lesson in the risks of digital finance. That belief shattered when I lost 2.8 BTC due to a simple but devastating error: I copied a malicious wallet address from a compromised forum post. The transaction was confirmed in minutes, and my savings were gone.
The feeling was one of sheer helplessness. Police reports went nowhere, and general cybersecurity firms simply shrugged. My hope was almost extinguished until I found a detailed case study about Decentralized Codex Security (DCS). With no other options, I contacted them at consult@decentralizedcodexsecurity.com.
The process that followed was a masterclass in professional crypto recovery. Unlike the vague promises I’d encountered elsewhere, DCS provided a transparent, step-by-step plan from the outset. They assigned me a dedicated investigator who patiently explained their forensic blockchain tracing methodology. Their team at https://www.decentralizedcodexsecurity.com works with a level of expertise that feels like something out of a cyber-thriller.
Using advanced on-chain analysis, they tracked my stolen funds through a labyrinth of wallets and across multiple blockchains. They identified patterns and exposed the thief’s attempts to launder the coins through mixing services. The critical moment came when their tracing revealed the funds had landed in an account on a KYC-compliant exchange. DCS immediately prepared a legally rigorous report, complete with irrefutable evidence of the theft’s path, and formally liaised with the exchange’s security team.
The result? The assets were frozen. After complying with the exchange’s verification and legal procedures, 87% of my Bitcoin was successfully returned to my custody within 16 days. The fee for their service, taken from the recovered amount, was worth infinitely more than the 100% loss I was facing.
If you are reading this, feeling the same cold dread I once did, understand this: Recovery is possible. It requires the right experts with the correct tools and legal partnerships. Do not give in to despair. Reach out to Decentralized Codex Security. They are the definitive solution for recovering lost or stolen Bitcoin online.
Sincerely,
