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!

How Losing My Crypto Wallet Access Cost Me Half a Million Dollars — and How I Recovered It
I was among the early adopters of cryptocurrency. I took the time to educate myself, learned the strategies behind crypto trading and investment, and built a strong portfolio through careful planning and experience. Over time, my digital assets grew to a value of over $500,000.
Toward the end of 2025, everything changed. I lost access to my crypto wallet, and with it, my entire portfolio. In a moment, years of effort disappeared, leaving me devastated and uncertain about the future.
What felt like a crushing misfortune, however, became a turning point. Through persistence and the right support, I was able to recover my stolen assets with the help of Morphohack Cyber Service, a reputable cryptocurrency recovery firm. Their expertise and professionalism were instrumental in tracing and recovering my funds from the hackers responsible.
I strongly recommend Morphohack Cyber Service to anyone facing a similar situation. They helped me reclaim what I thought was permanently lost, and they can help others recover their digital assets as well. Reach them via E-Mail: Morphohack@cyberservices.com
I still remember the night I discovered my only Bitcoin was gone. The initial excitement quickly turned to fear. I had invested through an online cryptocurrency exchange that promised quick returns and easy withdrawals. At first, everything seemed legitimate; customer service was always online, and there were even fake transaction confirmations. But when I tried to withdraw, excuses kept popping up: extra fees, verification delays, and then complete silence. Within days, the platform vanished. I was devastated and lost faith in the future of cryptocurrency. I felt stupid, angry, and helpless. Friends told me that cryptocurrency scams never offer refunds. For weeks, I believed them. But I didn’t want to give up. I started researching how blockchain tracking works, how stolen cryptocurrency is typically transferred through multiple wallets, and some practical measures. For the first time since being scammed, I felt calm and no longer panicked. Recovering Bitcoin wasn’t quick; it required patience, documentation, and continuous communication. Finally, I received a message that changed everything: my Bitcoin had been successfully recovered. When I checked my wallet and found my balance restored to 1 Bitcoin, everything returned, I sat there, overwhelmed with emotion. What I thought I had lost forever has miraculously returned. While the world of cryptocurrency is fraught with risk, my experience has taught me that perseverance, knowledge acquisition, and the right support can turn the impossible into reality. My worst cryptocurrency nightmare has ultimately become a story of resilience and a second chance.
