Valediction

A valediction (derivation from Latin vale dicere, "to say farewell"), or complimentary close in American English, is an expression used to say farewell, especially a word or phrase used to end a letter or message, or the act of saying parting words whether brief or extensive.

For the greetings counterpart to valediction, see salutation.

Alternatively, valediction can refer to the final prayers and remarks at the graveside before burial given by the presiding priest, after the Mass and the rite of Final Commendation, during a Roman Catholic funeral service, or to a speech given by a valedictorian at a commencement.

Kind Regards (album)

Kind Regards is a 3-CD set released by Buckethead, Bryan "Brain" Mantia and Melissa Reese. It was slated for release on October 15, 2010 but was released 2 days before the contemplated date. This is also the second volume (out of 3) of the "Regards" collection. Although it was first stated that the three volumes would have five disks each, this volume contains just three disks.

Contrary to the first volume of the collection, Best Regards, This release is not a limited edition and comes in disk jackets. Also, contrary to popular belief, the CDs are not named for each of the artists who collaborated in this release (Buckethead, Brain, and Melissa) but the disk jackets are labeled that way creating such confusion.

The set was announced along with another Brain and Buckethead collaboration called Brain as Hamenoodle.
