Narrative:

Atl approach cleared me direct to ryy. I advised approach I had the field, approach instructed me to contact tower 124.1. I contacted tower on 124.1, was cleared to land. I did. Upon switching to ground control, I was asked 'what are you doing on my field?' I advised I was going to FBO. Tower stated I landed without talking to him. I stated he cleared me to land on 124.1. He stated tower is 125.9. Approach issued wrong frequency and whoever was on 124.1 cleared me to land, not catching the name of the airport on my first call. Approach controller issued wrong frequency, acknowledged readback. 124.1 is a frequency of a tower in the area(?).
