The idea of an orchestra playing music by Bob Weir is apparently too weird for regular symphony goers and not appealing enough to Grateful Dead, Ratdog and Furthur fans to take up the slack.  As a consequence, the October 22 scheduled performance of Weir material by the Marin  Symphony has been postponed.  The executive director of the northern California symphony couched the sluggish pace of ticket sales in diplomatic terms, saying, '...postponement was realistic and in the interest of both parties.'  A make-up date is possible for the spring of 2011 but no date was committed to, raising the possibility that the entire project could get scrapped.
