My Cousin in Milwaukee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"My Cousin in Milwaukee" is a song composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin.[1][2] It was introduced in their 1932 musical Pardon My English. The song, like the show, was not a particular hit, although there are a number of vintage recordings of it:

  • Victor Arden-Phil Ohman & their Orchestra (Victor 24206)
  • Lyda Roberti+ with Eddy Duchin and his Central Park Casino Orchestra (Brunswick unissued)

(+ There has been an ongoing debate about the vocalist by collectors. Many people believe the singer is Gertrude Neisen, who was known for her accurate impersonation of Roberti.)[citation needed]
