I go to a diocesan parish w/o order priests. So pretty laid back. Most people signal touchdown at certain points of the liturgy of the Eucharist. If you know then you know.
Me, I keep my hands and arms down by my side and certainly don't hold hands during the Our Father.
And believe that drums, electric guitars and tambourines are the Devil's play things. Green font but half heartedly serious.

Only time I ever saw a Texas DPS officer without a hat was there. Once, at the Astrodome, a guy failed to remove his hat for the National Anthem, the start of it anyway. He was helped to remove his hat shortly after the song started.

I met my wife in 1987. Her family is from Goliad, a very small town an hour and half southeast from San Antonio, where Santa Anna massacred a bunch of people on his march to the Alamo.
Her grandfather was an old time guy born in the very early 1900's. First time I ever went into his house I had on baseball hat. That lasted a second before someone told me to remove it and explained the etiquette (that still exists today in many places, just not cities). Most real cowboys take off their hats when greeting women especially in smaller towns. And you will still see them take off hats in restaurants and indoors, rodeos being the exception (a good example of this on
Yellowstone when Jimmy is working at 6666 Ranch)
