Wasn't the "Cantina Band" co-written with his son (Joseph)?
As far as I know, he wrote that one by himself. But in Return of the Jedi he did co-write write "Lapti Nek" (along with Ernie Fosselius and Michele Gruska) & "Ewok Celebration" (along with Ben Burtt) with his son Joseph.
Joseph BTW was the lead singer for the band TOTO for awhile...
One more thing about John Williams. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend the 20th anniversary premiere of E.T. They showed the film on the screen while underneath the screen on stage was a full orchestra with Mr. Williams conducting. He conducted the entire E.T. score to picture live_with_a_full_orchestra...!! And as far as I could tell, the performance was flawless.
FWIW, this live performance is available on the E.T. Special Edition DVD. Including a documentary about how it was set up.
Thank you Jari for this information! It would be interesting to see that documentary!
