No confirmed studio credit has surfaced for this exact single.

However, most mid-1960s Nola Records sessions arranged by 

Quezergue were typically recorded in New Orleans studios associated with:

Cosimo Recording Studio (Cosimo Matassa’s studio)

or occasionally other local facilities used by Quezergue during the period.

Because no session sheet has been published for Nola 726, this remains 

an informed but unconfirmed attribution.

Session musicians

A complete lineup for “Happy Feet / The Scratch” has not been documented 

in reliable published sources. The recordings almost certainly used the regular
