John Barnes

I graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in music theory in 1969.  After five years in the US Army Band in Europe, where I served as a pianist and arranger (1975-1980), I took an MBA in Finance from  ASU in 1983.  In 1992, I received a PhD in Marketing from ASU, subsequently teaching at four graduate business schools – ASU (1985-1991), University of Texas at El Paso (1992-1999), Loyola University New Orleans (1999-2004), and State University of New York (2004-2012).  During this time, I played numerous part-time piano jobs.  I retired in 2012, moving to Sun City, and have been a member of the Sun City Piano Club since 2013.  I joined the Sun City Concert Band, serving in the percussion section in 2019.
