The reason was, think of a button. If I want a button to beep when 
clicked, I'd most likely have to either pass it a reference to the 
Jukebox so it can call a function, or have the function be free-standing 
so it can be called from anywhere. But if I use that trick of defining 
the class, then making an instance of it in the module itself, then that 
works; I'll have a reference available from the main program, anywhere.
