In recent years, Ong has been involved in recording and performing with Nicole Hart, whose debut CD called "Treasure" was recently released on April 14th with the national label, Blues Leaf Records. Ong and Hart were married August 8th, 2008. Lance is currently undergoing chemotherapy and is very positive, ready for a fight! The title track of our new CD is, "Treasure", named after a song written for Lance because he is a treasure to all who know him. What we need most now is your prayers, positive thoughts and energy. As always, we thank you for your love, your support and your friendship." Mark Meding, Nicole Hart's manager states " Nicole and Lance are going through a rough period in their life right now, they really need the support of their friends, family and colleagues to get them through this time.
