It’s rare that I’m drinking and not listening to the sounds of music. I may be in a bar, and Dave Matthews is piping through the speakers. Or at a party, and Adele is crooning from the house iPod. Even in my kitchen, I’ll sip some wine while Jack Johnson–or if my kids have a say, a “cooler” band like the Shins–serenades me as I chop onions and set the table.

Perusing some of my preferred musicians, I learned that the suggested “Grateful Dead” accompaniment is:
