The last time I saw Donna, it was in Los Angeles with her son Ethan, that was in 1990.

Saw them in 1970 at the Main Point in Bryn Mawr, PA with my then girlfriend ( now my wife of 38 yrs ) Have three of their albums and their music is just as great as it ever was. But you had to see them in concert to really appreciate them.

Hedge and Donna have a Facebook page now, with links to mp3 downloads of most of the discography. The two links that didn't work, I scrounged by searching. So pleased to hear this wonderful music again. As for so many, it was the soundtrack for my formative years.

I'm visiting Burbank, CA for business, I happened to be a guitar player and so this lady just loved my acoustic playing. Said reminded her of the Troubadour. That lady is Donna!
It happens that she is staying in the building where I'm staying, in fact she is sitting right next to me! Donna says "hi!" To everyone.
She tells me that she's still in transition and she's not sure where she wants to go, so she's here for now.
She thanks everyone!! She excited to know that there is still so many great fans!!

Hi,
I would like to connect with Donna's mother if she is still on this planet. She did me a huge favor many years ago (40 or so) and I would like to let her know how it has impacted my life for the better.
thanks
Martha

A terrific thread!
Hedge and Donna were first heard by me in Vietnam in 1971 where I was a DUSTOFF pilot (air ambulance pilot.) Their music was introduced to me by a fellow pilot and I have been a fan for the last 50 years. The song, "Can You Hear Me?" is haunting for me as this fellow pilot shared that song as he was putting on his flight gear to flight night missions. We departed his room with record still on his turntable. He died that night and the job I had was to pack up his stuff. I listened to the record while doing that sad task and cried. He was 21.

Donna's obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of Donna Marie Carson announces her passing. She took her last breath peacefully, listening to her music on the morning of November 21st, 2019.

Donna had a transcendent voice of smoke and honey. In her early life she shared her gift with us all, releasing 6 albums as a part of the folk duo, "Hedge & Donna" from 1967-1973. While music remained a constant part of Donna's life, the duo split in the early 1970's and she moved on with her degree from Whittier College. Her heart ever open, she eventually went on to work with special needs children at the California State Diagnostic School, and ultimately as a protector working for Los Angeles County Courts as a Child Advocate Supervisor. She found joy in helping kids and believed in supporting them so that no child would fall through the cracks of the court system. She worked tirelessly until she retired in 2004.

Donna was also a senior leader in the lay organization for Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism, and helped introduce and guide countless other Buddhist members through their practice of the Lotus Sutra, sharing the benefits of chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, and remained connected to the Head Temple in Japan throughout her life. Donna had a captivating and infectious smile and lived a kind of joy that turned everything a celebration. She was exuberant and her laughter filled any room. When she smiled, everyone around her would join in.

Donna was born to U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant Harry "Kit" Carson and his wife Dorothy in November of 1946. She was preceded in death by both her mother and father. Donna will be lovingly remembered by her sisters: Paula, Cynthia, Rita, and Jana. She is dearly missed by her son Ethan and his wife Sara. She will also be fondly remembered by her grandchildren Allen (Kaida), Kenjin, Hunter, and Scarlett.

The legacy of her music is still celebrated to this day by Hedge & Donna fans around the world. The message they had to offer the world and sweet harmonies they created remain as potent now as it was when it was first released. We invite any reader to celebrate her life by searching for and listening to their music. In this way, she may continue to touch the world with her joy and beauty, for as long as we listen.

A private service for family will be held in celebration of Donna's life in San Diego.

Hello, Sharon,
I am Nancy, Hedges' wife. I also knew Donna from their
Laurel Canyon days. Unfortunately, Donna passed away in 2019. She was an
amazing singer. Holy.   
    I'd never heard the lullaby, but I just asked Hedge about it
and he sang it to me. Wonderful!
    He's now writing a memoir so we hope to let everybody know when it's complete.
Hedges email is [e-mail]. Send him a msg. and he'll send "The
Sparrow and the Tree" to you. Enjoy...

Best, Nancy
