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)

Before you place any investment with a broker, ensure that you do your proper research so you don’t end up sending scammers your hard-earned money. I suffered from this after I sent a scammer I perceived to be a legitimate broker, but it later turned out he was a scammer. But I am happy I got introduced to RecoveryHacker101, because indeed I wouldn’t have gotten my funds if not for their expert services in tracing stolen crypto funds. I eventually got my money back and, trust me, I am not investing anymore. I can remember the sudden pain I got after I realized the broker was a scammer. That’s why I have taken my time to post this comment here to anyone in need of a crypto recovery expert can simply reach them at (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom). I vouch for their services 100%.
HOW TO RECOVER STOLEN CRYPTOCURRENCY WITH A GENUINE RECOVERY SERVICE;WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR
Life is ridiculously amusing. I was waiting in line for my morning coffee one minute and was witness to a barista extolling the virtues of Web Bailiff Contractor as if they were superheroes in the real world.
I chuckled it away at the time. I figured that I would never require any such crypto recovery services. My wallet was secure, my security was on solid foundations-or so I believed.
All that ended a week afterwards. I was going to send some Bitcoin when, all of a sudden, my wallet rejected my credentials. Wrong password.
I tried again. And again. Panic set in.
My $330,000 was trapped, and for the life of me, I could not recall the password. I was certain I had it correct, but the wallet disagreed. That is when I recalled the barista’s glowing recommendation of Web Bailiff Contractor; in a state of desperation, I searched for them and chose to contact them. From the initial message, their staff was patient, friendly, and very professional, and I felt confident that I wasn’t the first-let alone the last-man in the world who lost access to his wallet due to a forgotten password. They were that confident that they reassured me, but I just could not help myself: I worried. Was my Bitcoin lost forever? No chance. Their technicians worked through several complicated decryption techniques over the course of the next few days to decrypt my lost password. They worked through the security levels, attempted all manner of likely variations, and-amazingly-got me logged back on. I felt like I’d won the lottery when I was presented with my balance again. I must have sounded exactly like that barista, praising the merits of Web Bailiff Contractor to anyone who would hear me, because the relief was total. Not only did they restore my funds, but they provided me with sensible advice regarding password management, locking down my crypto, and how to steer clear of such calamities in the future. To this day, whenever I walk by that coffee shop, I always leave a generous tip—just because, if it weren’t for that chat, I might still have been shut out of my Bitcoin.
Lesson learned: Always double-check your passwords. And if you ever get locked out of your crypto, Web Bailiff Contractor is the one to contact.

After I trusted someone with my money and they refused to let me withdraw from my account and insisted that I pay more money to their fake platform, I was defrauded of $121,000 in Bitcoins. I learnt my lesson the hard way to never trust anyone posing as an agent or account manager. I was fortunate to attract the notice of a coworker who informed me about Wizard James Recovery, a respectable business that has previously assisted numerous individuals in getting their money back. After I got in touch with them, they assisted me in getting my money back in less than 48 hours.
Many thanks, Wizard James, I’m going to keep sharing your information since I know that many others have lost money to these scammers and are being kept captive by them. Here is how to get in touch with them.
