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.
Good day.

Boosting my business’s visibility was a top priority, and after searching for solutions online, I came across a seemingly legitimate business listing service that promised to give my business the exposure it needed. The website looked professional, with impressive testimonials and convincing marketing claims. It seemed like the perfect opportunity, so I decided to invest $1,200,000 in the service, believing it would be a game changer for my business. However, shortly after making the payment, everything started to unravel. The business listing service vanished. The website went offline, and all my attempts to reach their customer support went unanswered. I felt completely duped that what seemed like a promising investment had turned out to be a scam, and I was left with nothing. I was devastated. As an entrepreneur, that kind of financial loss was a huge blow, and I didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I found Ryan Ackroyd Wizard SERVICE . I was initially unsure if there was any chance of recovering my funds, but their reputation for helping people in similar situations gave me hope. The team at Ryan Ackroyd Wizard SERVICE jumped into action right away. They quickly identified the fraudulent website, recognizing it as part of a broader network of scams targeting unsuspecting business owners like myself. They didn’t waste any time and immediately began working with my payment platform to investigate the situation. Ryan Ackroyd Wizard SERVICE handled everything, from gathering the necessary documentation to filing a formal claim. Their expertise and experience in dealing with fraud became clear thanks to their thorough approach, they were able to ensure that all the details were in place for a successful recovery. To my relief,Ryan Ackroyd Wizard SERVICE was able to recover the full $1,200,000 that I had lost. It was an incredible feeling to get my money back, and I was extremely grateful for the team’s hard work and dedication. They were professional, transparent, and kept me updated throughout the process, so I never felt like I was in the dark. Looking back, if it weren’t for Ryan Ackroyd Wizard SERVICE, I would have lost my money with no way of getting it back.

My experience investing in bitcoin and losing money to scammers is something I’m willing to talk about. Yes, you can get your stolen bitcoins back, though. I was taught that there was no chance of bitcoin recovery, so I never gave it much thought. However, I fell for a currency fraud that offered unreasonably large returns sometime in January 2023, and I lost around $217,000. I looked for assistance for months before I eventually came into a Reddit post about Ryan Ackroyd Wizard SERVIC, which discussed recovering cryptocurrency that had been stolen. I contacted them as a result. I was apprehensive and fearful due to negative situations I had read about, but I chose to give him a chance. To my utter amazement, I was able to obtain all of my bitcoins that had been taken back from the scammers within a short period of time. Email is one way to stay in contact with them: ryanackroydwizardfundsrecovery@gmail.com
