Long View Farm Recording Studio
We chose Long View Farm because it is an interesting place that is a recording studio in our town.
Long View Farm has had artists such as The Rolling Stones, Arlo Guthrie, Aerosmith, Stevie Wonder, Dan Fogelberg, Cat Stevens, and the Paul Winter Consort record music at its studio.
The names of the people/bands who are recording are never known, by the town and towns around it because Long View really, really, protects the privacy of the people recording. The farm has a 24-track recording studio in the 90-year old barn; it even has a 6 foot high stage that was built for the band "The Rolling Stones". Known as a recording place for rock stars, it has luxurious private rooms for guests, a full kitchen, a jacuzzi, steam rooms and workout areas, all on a 100-acre farm. Long View Farm is a great place and it is so big!!! Long View Farm is an important part of the town of North Brookfield. Its manager even organizes a chorus for Elemetnary singers and one for Jr/Sr high school singers here at North Brookfield Public School.
Many other famous bands/people have come to our town, and we didn't even know it, that's how private this place is! Not many other small towns have recording studios in them, for famous people and bands. We hope this place stays in operation for a long time.
