Suika is the Japanese word for watermelon. Years ago in Japan, Eric spent a memorable day in Fukushima at a samurai era re-enactment festival with his good friends Milan and Ria (best blues singers ever to come out of Slovakia) watching horse races, eating fried squid on a stick, and drinking sake from a square wooden cup. On the way back, stopped at a roadside stand and came home with a lot of suika and this nutty little song.
