Remembering Mambo
Lucille Treanor stands with a mask of her late son, beloved Austin drummer “Mambo” John Treanor, clad in one of his infamous roadkill hats (this one’s a kitty kat). Treanor addressed the Austin Music Commission Tuesday with a proposal for a statue of her son, who passed away in 2001, to be situated somewhere near Barton Springs, an idea the commission enthusiastically supported. Treanor said she planned to donate the mask, hat, and one of Mambo’s washboards to the Texas Music Museum, which is still looking for a home.
