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)

In a single transaction, my Coinbase wallet was destroyed. I was at a loss as to what to do and was unable to contact Coinbase support Teams. This transaction resulted in the complete depletion of my Ethereum and Bitcoin. I was not the individual in question, and I required assistance after losing approximately $821,000. I visited the police station to submit a report, but they were also unable to provide any assistance. A gentleman approached me at the stiction and presented me with a note that included an email address (recoveryhacker101[at]gmail[dot]com). He informed me that this recovery company could be of assistance. Upon contacting them and submitting all necessary documentation within 72 hours, I received a letter stating that she had successfully recovered all of my funds and identified the individuals responsible for the criminal activity. I would like to inform everyone that it is feasible to retrieve their funds provided that they correspond with the appropriate individual and adhere to the prescribed procedures.

I want to share my experience of recovering my Bitcoin after falling victim to a scam mining bitcoin company. Like many others, I got involved with a company that seemed trustworthy at first, but eventually, I realized I had been scammed. The feeling of helplessness and frustration was overwhelming. I had invested a significant amount of $211,500USD and losing it felt like a blow to both my financial security and my trust in the crypto space. At first, I didn’t know where to turn. The feeling of being cheated left me in a state of disbelief. I tried reaching out to the company, but they stopped responding. I felt completely stuck, unsure if I would ever see my Bitcoin again. After some research, I found a recovery service (swift1@cyberservices.com or whatsapp: +1-845-224-5771) that specialized in helping people like me. I was cautious at first, not knowing if they were legitimate or just another scam. But after speaking with their team, I felt a glimmer of hope. They took the time to explain the recovery process, and they reassured me that they had experience in handling cases like mine. I wholeheartedly recommend their services. Don’t give up hope there are solutions out there, and you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Contact swift1@cyberservices.com or WhatsApp: +1-845-224-5771
