Narrative:

Real busy approach frequency. Did not switch and was not told to contact tower, landed runway 26R at atl and approach frequency contacted tower on rollout. No apparent conflict with other aircraft. Runway was clear. Crew/my screw up did not direct first officer to contact tower. I fly about 500-600 legs a yr, no excuse just pilot error.
