How do I make a chart combining company informmation with economic data,
specifically USA recessions. The line representing monthly sales (or
economic activity) and one or morel lightly shaded vertical bars, each
spanning several months and stretching from the bottom to the top of the
chart, representing one or more recessions.

THANKS!
